Abstract:
    We present the results of the first CCD BVRI photometric and proper
    motion study of late-type stars in the young open cluster Stock 2.
    Twenty-one fields of approximately 5'x5' size have been observed
    photometrically, from which we have identified 118 candidate members
    based on their positions on colour-magnitude diagrams relative to
    theoretical isochrones. From a comparison of the known star density of
    the Pleiades, we estimate the contamination of this selection process
    due to background stars to be as large as ∼50%. However, only 22 of
    those 118 candidate members have proper motions consistent with
    membership, suggesting that the contamination is of the order of 80%.
    Additional candidate members were found by means of a proper motion
    analysis of Schmidt plate material for a 3°x3{ deg} field
    containing the cluster. The cluster proper motion allows us to
    separate members from background and foreground stars. We have found
    634 stars with a membership probability ≥50% down to a limiting
    magnitude of B≃20, corresponding to late-M dwarfs at the distance of
    Stock 2.
