Overview

FSR 1712 is a sparse, loose object of very low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a relatively close* distance, near 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 (~1.82 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~1.14 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.

⚠️ Warning: the low UTI value and no obvious signs of duplication (Cdup=0.76) indicate that this is quite probably an asterism, moving group, or artifact, and not a real open cluster.

💡 Note: The parameters are sometimes transformed from their original values to match the format of the columns shown here, see FAQ. The columns DAv, Bfr, BSS correspond to differential extinction, binary fraction, and blue stragglers, respectively. BSS values can be listed as fractions or integers.
