Space Distribution of Stars and Diffuse Matter in the Region of IC 1396

No. 72
Budapest, 1979

Abstract

Space distribution of stars and interstellar absorbing medium have been investigated in a field of 19.5 square degrees containing the galactic cluster IC 1396 means of objective prism spectral classification and photographic UBV photometry. This open cluster is a central region of the large OB association Cep OB2 and the field itself is de densest part of the absorption. Distribution of the absorbing material is very irregular in the region. The average absorption at the distance of the association is mag. 1.5. In addition to the earliest type stars, late B and early A stars also show some concentration at the distance of the association.
