Overview

â„šī¸
HSC 2559 is a poorly populated, very dense object of low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a relatively close distance, below the mid-plane, affected by low extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, old cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the metallicity parameter (see Parameters). It was recently reported in the literature.
