Overview

â„šī¸
CWNU 50 is a moderately populated, moderately dense object of very high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate distance, below 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 age and metallicity parameters (see Parameters). It is rarely studied in the literature.
