Overview

FoF 145 is a rich, very dense object of very high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a relatively close distance, below the mid-plane, affected by high extinction. It is catalogued as a very massive, near-solar metallicity, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the metallicity parameter (see Parameters). It is moderately studied in the literature.

Note: This object contains blue stragglers according to at least one source.

Note: This object shares a large percentage of members with a later reported entry. See table with shared members information.

💡 Note: The parameters are sometimes transformed from their original values to match the format of the columns shown here, see FAQ. The columns DAv, Bfr, BSS correspond to differential extinction, binary fraction, and blue stragglers, respectively. BSS values can be listed as fractions or integers.
(*): indicates that this parameter is assigned more than one value in the corresponding reference.
