The clustering properties of intermediate mass young stars

Building on ideas from previous investigations, we will develop an algorithm that can detect clusters around Herbig Ae/Be stars given their astrometric parameters. Here, we present the results we obtained from initial algorithm tests for the cluster NGC6475 with TGAS data, which are then cross-matched with a photometric catalog. Based on a comparison with results from the literature, we demonstrate the e ciency of our algorithm in the detection of members of cluster, recovering the same number of stars and determining the same cluster astrometric parameters. In the future, this algorithm will also enable us to detect and confirm the presence of the clusters around Herbig Ae/Be stars and determine the characteristics of these clusters, such as ages.
