Overview

â„šī¸
FoF 939 is a moderately populated, very loose object of low 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 (~4.85 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~3.32 kpc).

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

âš ī¸ Warning: the low UTI value and no obvious signs of duplication (Cdup=0.78) indicate that this is quite probably an asterism, moving group, or artifact, and not a real open cluster.
