BV(RI)_KC_ CCD photometry of the core of the young open cluster, NGC 5460.
Abstract
We present CCD photometry on the BV(RI)_KC_ (Cape) photometric system of the core of the young open cluster, NGC 5460, to a magnitude limit V=~19, R=~19.5. We give photometry for 353 stars and identify 25 as cluster members along with a further 27 as possible members based on their positions in individual colour-magnitude diagrams. We estimate the reddening to the cluster and redefine its distance and age. Four stars are identified as possible variables and their nature discussed.
