Overview

ℹ️

BDSB 3 is a sparse, very loose object of low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate^* distance, near the mid-plane, affected by high extinction. It is catalogued as an intermediate-age cluster (see Parameters). It is rarely studied in the literature.

(*): The parallax distance estimate (~2.90 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~1.51 kpc).

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

Relatively close High extinction Intermediate age

Morales et al. (2013)
Classified as morphological type 'EC2' (partially embedded cluster). Morphological flag: cluster partially embedded, presence of an IR bubble.

Bica et al. (2003)
Classified as cluster candidate (IRCC).
