Overview
HSC 976 is a moderately populated, loose object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a very close distance, above the mid-plane, affected by low extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, very young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the metallicity parameter (see Parameters). It was recently reported in the literature.
Note: This is very likely a unique object, which shares a small percentage of members with at least one previously reported entry. See table with shared members information.
