The open cluster NGC 2422 has been established as a relatively
well-populated young cluster pc away, with a mean reddening
E(b-y) of
and an age of
yrs. The majority of the
stars measured proved to be early type stars although several stars
belonging to the cluster were determined to be A and F stars; hence
they are candidates to be monitored in order to determine which of
them belongs to the Delta Scuti group. No binaries nor chemically
peculiar stars were found and no traces of any blue stragglers were
discovered. 36 member stars were fixed as belonging to the cluster.
