Scientific paper

Discovered in 1995, Pyxis is one of the most poorly studied globular clusters in the outer halo of the Milky Way. To further probe this cluster, we present the first color magnitude diagram calibrated to the Johnson BV system. We obtained nearly fifteen hours of data over the course of eleven nights between 2007 and 2009 using the SOAR telescope. Our final CMD has internal errors of 0.025 at V = 24. We use the CMD to determine the extinction, metallicity, distance and age of this cluster.
