Overview

ℹ️

Berkeley 88 is a moderately populated, very dense object of low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a large^* distance, well above the mid-plane, affected by high extinction. It is catalogued as a massive, intermediate-age cluster (see Parameters). It is poorly studied in the literature.

(*): The parallax distance estimate (~8.65 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~5.04 kpc).

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