VI photometry of the galactic cluster Berkeley 66.

GUARNIERI M.D. and CARRARO G.

Abstract (from CDS):

A colour magnitude diagram (CMD) extending to V≃19mag is given for 444 stars in the region of the galactic cluster Berkeley 66. The V and I photometry of a nearby field is also reported. This object appears very faint, highly contaminated by foreground stars and very reddened. The apparent distance modulus (m-M) and the colour excess E_V–I are guessed to be 17.5 and 1.1, respectively, with an uncertainty of at least 30%. Adopting these values the comparison of the CMD with theoretical isochrones from the Padova group provides an age around 1.0Gyr.
