Overview

â„šī¸
CWNU 477 is a poorly populated, very dense object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a relatively close distance, above 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 absorption, age, and metallicity parameters (see Parameters). It is rarely studied in the literature.

Liu et al. (2025)
Classified as primordial binary cluster 76 along with NGC_6561, and of multiple system 26 along with NGC_6554 and NGC_6561.
