Overview

â„šī¸
Alessi 4 is a sparse, very loose object of very low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate distance, well above the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as an intermediate-age cluster (see Parameters). It is rarely studied in the literature.

âš ī¸ Warning: the low UTI value and no obvious signs of duplication (Cdup=1.0) indicate that this is quite probably an asterism, moving group, or artifact, and not a real open cluster.
