Scientific paper

We present accurate CCD photometry in the UBV(RI)_C bands of a 2.9x2.4 arcmin^2 field centred on the young open cluster Haffner 19. Spectral types for 4 members are derived from CCD spectroscopy. 64 probable cluster members are identified down to V=18.1. The cluster lies at 5.0 kpc and suffers from a marked differential reddening [DeltaE(B-V)=0.5] with a mean value E(B-V)=0.44. The extinction law conforms well to the one valid for the diffuse interstellar medium (R_V=3.1). The main sequence is well defined over the 7-mag interval we explored, with spectral types B0 and F8-G0 on the sequence. The fit with theoretical isochrones gives an age of about 6x10^6 yr.
