$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[angle=-90,width=16cm,clip]{f1.eps}\end{figure}$ Figure 1: Projection on the sky of the polarization vectors (Johnson V filter) of the stars observed in the region of NGC 5606. The dot-dashed line is the galactic parallel $b=0\hbox{$.\!\!^\circ$ }8$ . The lengh of each vector is proportional to the percentage polarization.

$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=9cm,clip]{f2.eps}\end{figure}$ Figure 2: Upper plot: V band polarization percentage of the stellar flux $P_{V}(\%)$ vs. the polarization angle $\theta _{V}$ for each star. Filled circles are used for member stars, while open triangles are for nonmembers, from the work of Vázquez & Feinstein (1991). Middle plot: histogram of the polarization angle ( $\theta _{V}$ ) for observed stars considered nonmembers. Lower plot: histogram of the polarization angle ( $\theta _{V}$ ) for the stars considered members. The arrow displays the location of the projection of the Galactic Plane in the region. Note that most of the member stars are located at angles lower than 70 $^\circ$ , so at lower angles than the projection of the Galactic Disk in the region.

$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=9cm,clip]{f3.eps}\end{figure}$ Figure 3: The plot displays both the polarization and position angle dependence on wavelength, for stars with indications of intrinsic polarization. The numbers in the polarization dependence plots are the star id. and right below is the position angle dependence for each star.

$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=9cm,clip]{f4.eps}\end{figure}$ Figure 4: Q- and U-parameters for the V bandpass. Circles are for members of NGC 5606, triangles are for stars of the new open cluster, and squares are the observed stars which are not part of either cluster. Small symbols are used for stars with intrinsic polarization.

The Schmidt-Kaler's ZAMS (1982) is shown as fitted to a distance modulus $V_{\rm o} - M_{v}$ = 9.90. Star 14 has not been included.
