Title: uvby--beta photoelectric photometry of NGC 7063
Authors: J.H. Pena, L. Fox Machado, R. Garrido

From uvby photometry of 75 stars in the direction of NGC 7063 we were able to determine membership of some stars and fix the distance (722 ± 105 pc), log age (of 8.146) and reddening (E(b-y) = 0.091 ± 0.039 mag) for the cluster.
