Overview

ℹ️

Collinder 428 is a poorly populated, moderately dense object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a very large^* distance, below the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a massive, near-solar metallicity, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the metallicity parameter (see Parameters). It is moderately studied in the literature.

(*): The parallax distance estimate (~10.25 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~3.39 kpc).

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