Overview

â„šī¸
DBSB 163 is a sparse, very loose object of very low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate* distance, near the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a low-mass, intermediate-age cluster (see Parameters). It is rarely studied in the literature.

(*): The parallax distance estimate (~2.98 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~1.26 kpc).

Note: This is very likely a unique object, which shares a very small percentage of members with at least one previously reported entry, and a small percentage with at least one entry reported in the same catalogue. See table with shared members information.

âš ī¸ Warning: the low UTI value and no obvious signs of duplication (Cdup=0.92) indicate that this is quite probably an asterism, moving group, or artifact, and not a real open cluster.

Relatively close Moderate extinction Low mass Intermediate age
