Overview

ℹ️

Dias 68 is a sparse, very loose object of low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate^* distance, above the mid-plane, affected by low extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, intermediate-age cluster (see Parameters). It was recently reported in the literature.

(*): The parallax distance estimate (~4.11 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~2.77 kpc).

⚠️ Warning: the low UTI value and no obvious signs of duplication (C_dup=1.0) indicate that this is quite probably an asterism, moving group, or artifact, and not a real open cluster.

Relatively close Low extinction Near-solar metallicity Intermediate age
