Overview
Berkeley 91 is a moderately populated, very dense object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a large distance, near the mid-plane, affected by high extinction. It is catalogued as a massive, near-solar metallicity, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the age and metallicity parameters (see Parameters). It is well-studied in the literature.
