Overview

â„šī¸
Berkeley 14A is a poorly populated, moderately dense object of intermediate C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a relatively close distance, near the mid-plane, affected by low extinction. It is catalogued as a massive, near-solar metallicity, very young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the absorption parameter (see Parameters). It is moderately studied in the literature.

Liu et al. (2025)
Classified as tidal capture (resonant trapping binary) 38 along with Theia_2901, and of multiple system 18 along with FSR_0732 and Theia_2901.
