Overview
FSR 1696 is a sparse, very loose object of low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a large* distance, above the mid-plane. It is catalogued as an intermediate-age cluster (see Parameters). It is rarely studied in the literature, with no articles listed in the last 7 years.
(*): The parallax distance estimate (~8.14 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~1.15 kpc).
â ī¸ Warning: the low UTI value and no obvious signs of duplication (Cdup=1.0) indicate that this is quite probably an asterism, moving group, or artifact, and not a real open cluster.
