Overview
CWNU 4321 is a sparse, very loose object of intermediate C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a large distance, below the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a metal-rich, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the distance, absorption, and age parameters (see Parameters). It was recently reported in the literature.
â ī¸ Warning: the low UTI value and no obvious signs of duplication (Cdup=1.0) indicate that this is quite probably an asterism, moving group, or artifact, and not a real open cluster.
