Overview

ℹ️

CKCWDM 21978 is a poorly populated, very loose object of low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a large^* distance, well below the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, intermediate-age cluster (see Parameters). It was recently reported in the literature.

(*): The parallax distance estimate (~8.52 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~6.37 kpc).

⚠️ Warning: the low UTI value and no obvious signs of duplication (C_dup=1.0) indicate that this is quite probably an asterism, moving group, or artifact, and not a real open cluster.

Very distant Moderate extinction Near-solar metallicity Intermediate age
