Abstract:
UBV photoelectric photometry for 175 stars in the field of the southern
open cluster NGC2323, supplemented by DDO photometry of 5 probable giants,
is presented. The analysis of the photometric data yields 109 probable
members; one of them being a red giant, and 3 possible members. The reddening
across the cluster is slightly variable and the mean value E(B-V)=0.25. The
apparent cluster distance modulus is 10.62, corresponding to a distance of
940 pc. The age, determined by fitting isochrones with core overshooting,
turns out to be
Myr. Other fundamental cluster parameters are also
determined. NGC2323 appears not to be physically connected to the CMa OB1
association.
