Overview
HSC 2523 is a sparse, loose object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a very close distance, near the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a low-mass, near-solar metallicity, very young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the absorption parameter (see Parameters). It was recently reported in the literature.
Note: This is likely a unique object, which shares a moderate percentage of members with at least one previously reported entry. See table with shared members information.
