Overview
Gaia 2 is a moderately populated, very dense object of very high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a large distance, well below the mid-plane, affected by low extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, very old cluster (see Parameters). It is poorly studied in the literature.
