Overview

FSR 1279 is a sparse, very dense object of intermediate C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a close* distance, below the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as an intermediate-age cluster (see Parameters). It is poorly studied in the literature.

(*): The parallax distance estimate (~0.82 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~2.24 kpc).

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