Overview

ℹ️

CWNU 3971 is a poorly populated, loose object of intermediate C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a large^* distance, above the mid-plane, affected by very high extinction. It is catalogued as a very young cluster (see Parameters). It was recently reported in the literature.

(*): The parallax distance estimate (~6.61 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~14.45 kpc).

⚠️ Warning: the low UTI value and no obvious signs of duplication (C_dup=1.0) indicate that this is quite probably an asterism, moving group, or artifact, and not a real open cluster.
