Overview

â„šī¸
HSC 2562 is a sparse, loose object of intermediate C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate distance, near the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a metal-poor, very young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the age 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 primordial binary cluster 237 along with UBC_525, and of multiple system 68 along with Theia_2478 and UBC_525.

Palma et al. (2025)
Part of multiple system G158, along with HSC_2549, UBC_525 and Theia_2478.

Cavallo et al. (2024)
Wood sample.
