Overview
ℹī¸
ASCC 88 is a rich, very dense object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a close distance, above the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a massive, near-solar metallicity, young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the age and mass parameters (see Parameters). It is very well-studied in the literature.
Close Moderate extinction Massive Near-solar metallicity Young

Almeida et al. (2025)
Mass determination: intermediate fit. Isochrone match: good fit. Silver sample.

Cavallo et al. (2024)
