Abstract:
We present new Johnson BV CCD photometry of the young cluster NGC 330 in
the Small Magellanic Cloud and of a nearby field. Comparing the surface
brightness profile of the cluster with the density distribution models of
Meylan (1987, 1988) and Elson (1991) we derive the structural parameters,
namely the ellipticity, the concentration, and the core and tidal radii.
The photometric quality and completeness of the data are analyzed in great
detail to derive the reference Color-Magnitude Diagram (CMD) and the
Luminosity Function (LF) for main sequence stars of the cluster.
