Description:
    We present UBVRI CCD imaging photometry down to approximately V=19mag
    in the area of the very young open cluster Tr 14. Our results confirm
    the existence of an anomalous extinction law in the area if it is
    interpreted in terms of the UBVRI photometry. According to our
    analysis the cluster distance is d=3100 (V_0_-M_V_=12.50mag) and its
    age is 1.5+/-.5x10^6^y. We want to draw the attention on stars which,
    from the observed magnitude-spread at constant color, could be stars
    in an early stage of evolution. In that case, the observed spread
    leads to assume that the process of star formation in Tr 14 is
    continuous whereas, from pre-main sequence evolutionary tracks, a
    duration of about 5x10^6^y is deduced for it. The computation of the
    cluster initial mass function reveals a flat slop e even though it
    still compares to a Salpeter law. At the same time, we found a spatial
    variation of the cluster IMF, which could be explained by mass
    segregation in the star formation process. The cluster youth and its
    compact appearance seem to confirm that it is far from virial
    equilibrium. The observed tot al cluster mass is around 2000M_{sun}_
    and its core contains about 40% of the total.
