Overview
FSR 1700 is a moderately populated, loose object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a very large* distance, well below the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a massive, near-solar metallicity, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the age and metallicity parameters (see Parameters). It is moderately studied in the literature.
(*): The parallax distance estimate (~16.03 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~5.82 kpc).
