Overview
Grasdalen 1 is a poorly populated, very dense object of intermediate C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a very close* distance, above the mid-plane, affected by very high extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, young cluster (see Parameters). It is rarely studied in the literature.
(*): The parallax distance estimate (~0.14 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~0.94 kpc).
Note: This object shares a large percentage of members with 2 later reported entries. See table with shared members information.
