摘要
UBGVRI photometry for the open cluster NGC 2506 is presented. From comparison of the observed colour-magnitude diagrams with simulations based on stellar evolutionary models we derive in a self-consistent way the reddening, distance and age of the cluster: E (B - V) = 0-0.07, (m - M)(0) = 12.6 +/- 0.1, tau = 1.5-2.2 Gyr. The cluster shows a well-defined secondary sequence, suggesting that binary systems constitute greater than or similar to 20 per cent of the cluster members visible in the colour-magnitude diagram.
