Overview
Danks 2 is a rich, very dense object of very high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a large* distance, near the mid-plane, affected by very high extinction. It is catalogued as a very massive, metal-rich, very young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the age parameter (see Parameters). It is moderately studied in the literature.
(*): The parallax distance estimate (~7.17 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~3.60 kpc).
