Overview

ℹ️

FoF 344 is a rich, very dense object of very high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate^* distance, near the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a massive, near-solar metallicity, young cluster (see Parameters). It is rarely studied in the literature.

(*): The parallax distance estimate (~2.61 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~1.91 kpc).

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

Relatively close Moderate extinction Massive Near-solar metallicity Young
