CCD photometry of the halo cluster Pall in Thuan-Gunn system is presented. The color - magnitude diagrams (Fig. 1) show a well defined red horizontal branch, lower giant branch and main-sequence down to about two magnitudes below the main-sequence turnoff. The giant branch is absent and the brightest stars are horizontal-branch stars. The horizontal branch is composed of red stars only. The age of the cluster, determined by comparison with the isochrones of Bell and Vanden Berg (1987) is consistent with an age between 12 – 14 Gyr. and a metallicity [Fe/H] = −0.79. The observed luminosity function shows a deficiency of stars from about 0.5 mag below turnoff up to g = 21 mag. A distance modulus of (m – M)g0 = 15.35 ± 0.1 magnitude has been derived. An estimate of the cluster structural parameters gives rc = 1.7 pc and c = 1.46. A mass estimate of 1.6 × 103M⊙ and mass-to-light ratio 1.77 has been obtained, using King's (1966) method.
