Overview

â„šī¸
Haffner 17 is a rich, very dense object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate distance, below the mid-plane, affected by high extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the age, metallicity, and mass parameters (see Parameters). It is well-studied in the literature.

Almeida et al. (2025)
Mass determination: invalid due to poor quality CMD. Isochrone match: worst fit.

Cavallo et al. (2024)
Gold sample.

Hunt & Reffert (2024)
Classified as open cluster. CMD class: 0.83 (50th percentile).

Hunt & Reffert (2023)
Classified as open cluster. CMD class: 0.83 (50th percentile).

Ahumada & Lapasset (2007)
All the cluster parameters are from (2005, unpublished data). The diagram of stars up to 3' of the centre was examined.
