Overview
Kronberger 52 is a rich, very dense object of very high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a large* distance, above the mid-plane, affected by high extinction. It is catalogued as a massive, near-solar metallicity, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the age and mass parameters (see Parameters). It is well-studied in the literature.
(*): The parallax distance estimate (~8.30 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~5.16 kpc).
Note: This object shares a small percentage of members with a later reported entry. See table with shared members information.
