Overview

â„šī¸
CWNU 96 is a moderately populated, very loose object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a close distance, near the mid-plane, affected by low extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the absorption parameter (see Parameters). It is rarely studied in the literature.
