Pismis 20: One or two clusters?

We present <i>UBVRI</i> polarimetric observations of stars in the direction of the open cluster Pismis 20 and WR 67. It is found that the observed members segregate polarimetrically into two groups, with different associated mean P<SUB>max</SUB> (4.31 and 6.08% respectively)....
