Summary

GLIMPSE 20 is a poorly populated, very loose object of intermediate C3 quality. It is located at a large distance from the Sun, near the mid-plane. It is rarely studied in the literature, with no articles listed in the last 6 years.

Warning: This is likely a duplicate object, which shares a large percentage of members with at least one previously reported entry.

Warning: the low UTI value and no obvious signs of duplication (C_dup=0.15) indicates that this is quite probably an asterism, moving group, or artifact, and not a real open cluster.
