Abstract

The young LMC cluster NGC 2214 has been suspected to be in the stage of merging two clusters, because it shows a significantly elliptical core structure embedded in an almost spherical halo and two central subcomponents. Recently Sagar, Richtler, & de Boer [AA, 249, L5, 1991] have claimed that NGC 2214 has two distinct supergiant branches with ages of ∼60 Myr and ∼170 Myr, respectively. Based on deep UBVI CCD photometry, we suggest that NGC 2214 shows only one supergiant branch of age ∼60 Myr
