Overview
CWNU 2503 is a sparse, very loose object of low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a large* distance, below the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the metallicity parameter (see Parameters). It was recently reported in the literature.
(*): The parallax distance estimate (~5.54 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~4.07 kpc).
