Overview

â„šī¸
CWNU 218 is a sparse, moderately dense object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a relatively close distance, below the mid-plane, affected by low extinction. It is catalogued as a metal-rich, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the age and metallicity parameters (see Parameters). It is poorly studied in the literature.

Liu et al. (2025)
Classified as primordial binary cluster 63 along with FoF_2210.

Palma et al. (2025)
Classified as optical pair P252, along with FoF_2210.

Cavallo et al. (2024)
Gold sample.
