Open Clusters: Uks 2, Hr Diagram

Scientific paper

Colour-magnitude diagrams are presented for the first time, of the faint southern star cluster UKS 2, which was for a long time reported as a globular cluster candidate. The V vs. B-V diagrams indicate that UKS 2 is an open cluster with age comparable to that of the Hyades. It has a reddening of E(B-V) = 0.40 and is located at a distance from the Sun of dsun ~ 7 kpc. The cluster is located outside the solar radius at galactocentric distance projected on the plane r_GC ~ 11 kpc, and a height z ~ -370 pc. Observations collected at the European Southern Observatory - ESO, Chile; Tables 2 and 3 are available only in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or via http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.html
