UKS 2 open cluster BV photometry

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

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.

Description

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 d_{sun}_=~7kpc.

The cluster is located outside the solar radius at galactocentric distance projected on the plane r_GC_=~11kpc, and a height z=~-370pc.
