Overview

Chamaleon I is a rich, very dense object of very high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a very close distance, near the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a low-mass, near-solar metallicity, very young cluster (see Parameters). It is poorly studied in the literature.

Note: This object shares a large percentage of members with 6 later reported entries. See table with shared members information.

Very close Moderate extinction Low mass Near-solar metallicity Very young

💡 Note: The parameters are sometimes transformed from their original values to match the format of the columns shown here, see FAQ. The columns DAv, Bfr, BSS correspond to differential extinction, binary fraction, and blue stragglers, respectively. BSS values can be listed as fractions or integers.
(*): indicates that this parameter is assigned more than one value in the corresponding reference.
