Overview

â„šī¸
CWNU 281 is a poorly populated, very dense object of intermediate C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a relatively close distance, below the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as an extremely metal-poor, very young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the absorption parameter (see Parameters). It is poorly studied in the literature.

Liu et al. (2025)
Classified as primordial binary cluster 65 along with Alessi_72, and of multiple system 12 along with Alessi_72 and HSC_1808.
