B and V photometry of the faint open cluster. UKS 2 (BH 66).

BICA E., ORTOLANI S. and BARBUY B.

Abstract (from CDS):

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. 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☉≃7kpc. The cluster is located outside the solar radius at galactocentric distance projected on the plane rGC≃11kpc, and a height z≃-370pc.
