英文摘要	We present 13 band CCD intermediate-band spectrophotometry of a field centered on the open cluster NGC 7789 from 400 to nearly 1000 nm, taken with the Beijing-Arizona-Taiwan-Connecticut (BATC) Multi-Color Survey photometric system. By comparing observed spectral energy distributions of NGC 7789 stars with theoretical ones, the fundamental parameters of this cluster are derived: an age of 1.4 +/- 0.1 Gyr, a distance modulus (m - M)(0) = 11.27 +/- 0.04, a reddening E(B - V) 0.28 +/- 0.02, and a metallicity with the solar composition Z = 0.019. When the surface density profile for member stars with limiting magnitudes of 19.0 in the BATC e band (lambda(eff) = 4925 angstrom) is fitted by a King model, a core radius R-c = 7.52' and a tidal radius R-t = 28.84' are derived for NGC 7789. The observed mass function (MF) for main-sequence (MS) stars of NGC 7789 with masses from 0.95 to 1.85 M-circle dot is fitted with a power-law function empty set(m) alpha m(alpha), and a slope alpha = 0.96 is derived. Strong mass segregation in NGC 7789 is reflected in the significant variation of the concentration parameters C-0 = log (R-t/R-c) for member stars of NGC 7789 within different mass ranges: C-0 = 1.02 for the most massive stars and C-0 = 0.37 for the lowest mass MS stars. Strong mass segregation in NGC 7789 is also indicated in the significant variation of the slopes alpha in different spatial regions of the cluster: the MF for stars within the core region has alpha = -0.71, much flatter than that for stars in external regions of the cluster (alpha = -1.20).
