摘要
We present CCD BVI photometry of the intermediate-age open cluster Pismis 2, covering from the brighter red giants to about 5 mag below the main-sequence turn-off. The cluster is heavily reddened and is possibly affected by a differential reddening of DeltaE(B - V) similar or equal to 0.04-0.06. Using the synthetic colour-magnitude diagram method, we estimate the distance modulus, (m - M)(0) similar or equal to 12.5-12.7, and age, tau similar or equal to 1. 1-1.2 Gyr, in a self-consistent way. The cluster probably contains a significant fraction of binary systems. The metallicity is most likely solar and the reddening E(B - V) ranges between 1.26 and 1.32 depending on the cluster region.
