Overview

ℹ️

HSC 2287 is a poorly populated, loose object of intermediate C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a large distance, well above the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the age parameter (see Parameters). It was recently reported in the literature.

Note: This object shares a large percentage of members with a later reported entry. See table with shared members information.

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