We present very deep and accurate photometry of the open cluster M35 (VRIc filters). We have covered a region of 27.5x27.5 square arcmin. The data range from Ic=12.5 to 23.5 mag, and the color intervals are 0.4\le(V-I)c\le3.0,…

We have investigated the properties of the stellar mass function in the globular cluster NGC6397 using a large set of HST observations that include WFPC2 images in V and I, obtained at ~4' and 10' radial distances, and a series of deep…

We present UBVRI photometry of the open cluster NGC 2422 (age $\sim 10^8$ yr) down to a limiting magnitude $V\simeq19$. These data are used to derive the Luminosity and Mass Functions and to study the cluster spatial distribution. By…

Deep HST-WFPC2 observations of the stellar population in the globular cluster Omega Cen (NGC 5139) have been used to measure the luminosity function of main sequence stars at the low-mass end. Two fields have been investigated, located…

We have conducted a deep ($15 \la r \la 23$), 20 night survey for transiting planets in the intermediate age open cluster M37 (NGC 2099) using the Megacam wide-field mosaic CCD camera on the 6.5m Multiple Mirror Telescope (MMT). In this…

We have combined existing optical magnitudes for stars in seven open clusters and 54 field stars with the corresponding JHKs photometry from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS). Combining optical with near-IR photometry broadens the color…

We present deep V and I photometry for the open cluster NGC 4815 and four surrounding Galactic fields down to a limiting magnitude $V\sim25$. These data are used to study cluster spatial extension by means of star counts, and to derive the…

We present a photometric and spectroscopic study of the young open cluster M35, including very deep and accurate photometry of the stellar (including white dwarfs) and substellar population of the cluster, a complete mass function,…

We used archival Hubble Space Telescope WFC3 images to obtain the Luminosity Function of the remote globular cluster NGC2419 from two magnitudes above the Horizontal Branch level down to \sim3.0 magnitudes below the Turn Off point (to…

In this paper we present the V and I luminosity functions and color-magnitude diagrams derived from wide-field (23 arcmin by 23 arcmin) BVI photometry of the intermediate metallicity ([Fe/H]=-1.3) Galactic globular cluster M12. Using…

We present a high precision, large sample luminosity function (LF) for the Galactic globular cluster M3. With a combination of ground based and Hubble Space Telescope data we cover the entire radial extent of the cluster. The observed LF is…

We present a $BVI$ photometric and astrometric catalogue of the open cluster NGC 3960, down to limiting magnitude $V\sim22$, obtained from observations taken with the Wide Field Imager camera at the MPG/ESO 2.2 m Telescope at La Silla. The…

We present NICMOS NIC3 observations of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 288, taken South - East at 2.4 times the cluster's half-light radius in the J and H bands. We have detected the cluster main sequence down to J~25 and H~24. The…

We report the result of a study in which we have used very deep broadband V and I WFPC2 images of the R136 cluster in the Large Magellanic Cloud from the HST archive, to sample the luminosity function below the detection limit of 2.8 Mo…

High-precision HST photometry has recently revealed that the globular cluster (GC) NGC 2808 hosts a triple main sequence (MS) corresponding to three stellar populations with different helium abundances. We carried out photometry on ACS/WFC…

The stellar content of the open cluster NGC 2437 (Messier 46) is investigated using moderately deep u*,g', and r' MegaCam images. When compared with solar metallicity isochrones, the (g', u'-g') and (r', g'-r') CMDs are consistent with an…

This paper describes the results of an HST WFPC2 search for star clusters in active star-formation regions of M31. Nine of the clusters were previously cataloged and 77 are new. Our 23 fields cover key areas of the galaxy's recent star…

We present the I-band luminosity function of the differentially reddened globular cluster M10. We combine photometric analysis derived from wide-field (23' x 23') images that include the outer regions of the cluster and high-resolution…

We present the results of a deep CCD-based IZ photometric survey of a ~1 sq. deg area in the central region of the Pleiades Galactic open cluster. The magnitude coverage of our survey (from I~17.5 down to 22) allows us to detect substellar…

We present here the detailed optical and infra-red photometric analysis of the open star cluster IC 361. On studying the radial density profile, radial extent of the cluster is found to be 8.0 +/- 0.5 arcmin. The basic physical parameters…
