The deepest color-magnitude diagrams for the benchmark open cluster NGC 2437 from Gaia and VVVX

Deep photometry of Galactic star clusters provides one of the most powerful tools for determining their physical properties.

Deep photometry of Galactic star clusters provides one of the most powerful tools for determining their physical properties. In particular, in low Galactic latitude regions that suffer from heavy extinction and crowding. NGC2437 is the most extended star cluster in the near-IR…
