Overview
ℹī¸
Berkeley 62 is a rich, moderately dense object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate distance, above the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, very young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the metallicity and mass parameters (see Parameters). It is very well-studied in the literature.

Note: This object shares a very small percentage of members with a later reported entry. See table with shared members information.

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

Cavallo et al. (2024)
Gold sample.

Hunt & Reffert (2024)
