Abstract
We present VI photometry for the open cluster NGC 637 which is located in the Cassiopeia region. Morphology of cluster color-magnitude diagram indicates that it is a young object with age of a few million years. The apparent distance modulus of the cluster is 13.9<(m-M)V<14.3, while reddening is 0.69<E(V-I)<0.73. We estimated the heliocentric distance as 2.6<d<3.3 kpc. We also report the identification of two variable stars in NGC 637. One of the variables is a non-radial pulsating beta Cep-type star. Other one is a likely ellipsoidal variable, however its pulsating nature can not be excluded.
