Overview

â„šī¸
HSC 153 is a sparse, very loose object of intermediate C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a relatively close distance, below the mid-plane, affected by high extinction. It is catalogued as a young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the distance parameter (see Parameters). It was recently reported in the literature.

âš ī¸ Warning: the low UTI value and no obvious signs of duplication (Cdup=1.0) indicate that this is quite probably an asterism, moving group, or artifact, and not a real open cluster.

Liu et al. (2025)
Classified as tidal capture (resonant trapping binary) 161 along with Markarian_38, and of multiple system 46 along with Markarian_38 and Turner_3.

Palma et al. (2025)
Part of multiple system G214, along with Turner_3 and Markarian_38.

Hunt & Reffert (2024)
Classified as open cluster. CMD class: 0.93 (50th percentile).

Hunt & Reffert (2023)
Classified as open cluster. CMD class: 0.93 (50th percentile).
