Title: Another view to Pismis 3 with 2MASS Photometry
Authors: A. L. Tadross
(Version v3)

This paper is a continuation of a series, aiming to refine and re-determine the most physical parameters of rarely or/and un-studied open star clusters with a good quality CMD using Near-IR JHK photometry. A morphological analysis of (2MASS) database (the digital "Two Micron All Sky Survey") has been presented for the open cluster Pismis 3. The only previous work for this cluster has been introduced by Carraro & Ortolani (1994). In the present work, some physical properties estimated for the first time and some others re-determined whereas they can be compared with the previous study.
