J/A+A/432/491 CCD UBVIc photometry of Pismis 8 and Pismis 13 (Giorgi+, 2005) ================================================================================ The Vela-Puppis open clusters Pismis 8 and Pismis 13.

MK spectral types have also been determined for a number of stars located in the fields of these two clusters which were used to secure membership among the brightest stars. Since our photometry goes to a fainter limit than previous studies we could provide better reddening, distance and age determinations. Both clusters are located close to the edge of the local arm in the third quadrant. Pismis 8 is a cluster about 5-7My old located at 2000pc from the Sun, while Pismis 13 was found at 2750pc with a probable age of about 100My. The estimate of the slopes of the mass functions in both cases yielded x=1.7 and x=2.1 for Pismis 8 and 13 respectively. Description: CCD imaging photometry in the UBVI Cousins system was carried out in February 1996. Data were obtained with the 60-cm telescope of the University of Toronto Southern Observatory at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile, and a PM 512x512 METHACROME-II UV coated CCD. Pismis 8 was observed on February 23 and Pismis 13 on February 25.
