Scientific paper

A UBV photographic survey of the young open cluster IC 2602 has been carried out with the aim of finding white dwarf remnants in the cluster. Approximately equal numbers of white dwarfs and blue subdwarfs have been detected and observed spectroscopically; none of the white dwarfs appears to have a common evolutionary origin with the 20-million-year-old cluster. The relatively high number of hot subdwarfs in the field and its implications for similar photometric surveys is discussed.
