RESUMEN

Se presenta fotometría fotoeléctrica uvby—β del cúmulo abierto NGC 6882/5. Mediante la ya probada técnica fotoeléctrica de determinación de distancias, encontramos que existen al menos dos acumulaciones diferenciables de estrellas en la dirección del cúmulo. Se lleva a cabo una breve discusión sobre la naturaleza de las estrellas previamente determinadas como variables.

 

ABSTRACT

Unpublished uvby — β photoelectric photometry of the open cluster NGC 6882/5 is presented. Utilizing already tested distance determinations through photometric techniques, it is found that there are at least two distinct star accumulations in the direction of the open cluster NGC 6882/5. A brief discussion is made of the nature of the previously found short period variables.

Key Words: open clusters and associations: general — open clusters and associations: individual (NGC 6882/5) — stars: variables — techniques: photometric
