Scientific paper

The structure of the field surrounding the Galactic cluster NGC 2439 is studied utilizing uvbyβ photometry of bright OB stars. We collate all photometric and kinematic data available to identify possible groupings. The stars of our sample show a large scatter in their distances, radial velocities, proper motions and reddenings. We conclude that they do not belong to a single stellar association. We find evidence of the existence of three coherent structures at distances of 370pc, 1kpc, and 2.6-3.2kpc. The high stellar density toward NGC 2439 is very likely due to a decreased absorption in this direction, which poses some doubt on the reality of the cluster. A comprehensive uvbyβ study of NGC 2439 is required to clarify its nature. The spatial distribution of the stars and their reddening are used to characterise the spatial distribution of the visual extinction in the region. The results obtained confirm previously determined constraints on the formation mechanism of interstellar CH+ towards the NGC 2439 field. (1 data file).
