Open Clusters:Individual (Be 2), C-M Diagram, Age, Distance

Scientific paper

We present UBV CCD photometry of Be 2, previously unstudied open cluster. Our photometry covers a field of 3'.2 X 3'.8 of the sky centered on the cluster, which is slightly smaller than the cluster diameter estimated to be about 260". We have determined the reddening, distance, age and metallicity of the cluster by fitting the Padova isochrones to the observed stellar distributions in color-magnitude diagram as well as main sequence fitting: E(B-V) = 0.8 +/- 0.05, (m-M)_o = 13.6 +/- 0.1, log(t) = 8.9 +/- 0.1, and Z =0.008. The present photometry shows that Be 2 is a distant open cluster of intermediate age. that it is a distant intermediate-age open cluster.
