Overview

ℹ️

L1228 is a poorly populated, very loose object of very low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate^* distance, well above the mid-plane. It is catalogued as a low-mass cluster (see Parameters). It is rarely studied in the literature, with no articles listed in the last 23 years.

(*): The parallax distance estimate (~2.12 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~0.15 kpc).

⚠️ Warning: the low UTI value and no obvious signs of duplication (C_dup=1.0) indicate that this is quite probably an asterism, moving group, or artifact, and not a real open cluster.
