Overview

â„šī¸
CWNU 77 is a sparse, very loose object of intermediate C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a close distance, above the mid-plane, affected by low extinction. It is catalogued as a metal-rich, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the absorption parameter (see Parameters). It is poorly studied in the literature.

âš 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.
