BVRIc photometry of Stock 8

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present UBVIc CCD photometry of the young open cluster Stock 8 with the aim of studying its basic properties such as the amount of interstellar extinction, distance, age, stellar contents and initial mass function (IMF).

Description

We also studied the star formation scenario in this region. From optical data, the radius of the cluster is found to be ~6arcmin (~3.6pc) and the reddening within the cluster region varies from E(B-V)=0.40 to 0.60mag.

The cluster is located at a distance of 2.05+/-0.10kpc. Using H{alpha} slitless spectroscopy and Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) near-infrared (NIR) data we identified H{alpha} emission and NIR-excess young stellar objects (YSOs), respectively.
