Overview
CWNU 37 is a poorly populated, very dense object of intermediate C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate* distance, near the mid-plane, affected by high 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 poorly studied in the literature.
(*): The parallax distance estimate (~2.11 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~1.55 kpc).
