Abstract:
    UBVI CCD photometry has been obtained for the intermediate-age open
    cluster M35 (NGC 2168). From this new photometry we derived the
    cluster parameters (Vo-MV= 9.60+/-0.10 mag, E(B-V) = 0.255+/-0.024
    mag), age (logAge=8.3+/-0.3) and a photometric abundance (Z~0.008,
    i.e. [Fe/H]~-0.3) from comparison with theoretical isochrones of the
    Padova group. A minimum binary frequency (35+/-5%) was estimated from
    the distribution of distance moduli of unevolved proper motion
    members. Faint photometric members were selected by using differences
    in the reddening effect on colour indices.

Description:
    BVI CCD photometry was performed for the central region of M35 on 1997
    November 23 at Siding Spring Observatory with the 40-inch telescope
    (f/8) and a thinned SITe 2048×2048 CCD (24-mm pixels). The scale was
    0.602 arcsec/pixel, giving 20.5arcmin on a side. Two sets of exposure
    times were used in the observations: long exposures 60s in I, 150s in
    V, 300s in B, 600s in U; short exposures: 5s in I and V, 7s in B and
    15s in U. The seeing was between 1.4 and 2.1arcsec.
