Photometric and kinematic study of the Galactic open cluster NGC 2309

We have obtained CCD UBVIKC photometry for NGC 2309, a relatively poor open cluster (OC) projected onto a rich star field in Monoceros. Probable cluster members have been identified for the first time from sound photometric criteria. We have derived the angular radius and the fundamental cluster par...

Resumo:We have obtained CCD UBVIKC photometry for NGC 2309, a relatively poor open cluster (OC) projected onto a rich star field in Monoceros. Probable cluster members have been identified for the first time from sound photometric criteria. We have derived the angular radius and the fundamental cluster parameters. The resulting reddening and distance values place this object among the relatively most reddened and distant known OCs projected towards the direction of NGC 2309.
