Overview

ℹ️

HSC 2348 is a poorly populated, very loose object of low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a very large^* distance, below the mid-plane, affected by high extinction. It is catalogued as a massive, near-solar metallicity, young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the age parameter (see Parameters). It was recently reported in the literature.

(*): The parallax distance estimate (~15.80 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~9.87 kpc).

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.
