Basel 20
(MWSC 1680)
- CN 0.0 Sparse
- Cdens 0.03 Very loose
- CC3 0.12 Very low quality
- Clit 0.31 Poorly studied
- Cdup 1.0 Unique
Overview
Basel 20 is a sparse, very loose object of very low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate* distance, below the mid-plane. It is catalogued as a young cluster (see Parameters). It is poorly studied in the literature. (*): The parallax distance estimate (~4.49 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~1.69 kpc).
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.
