Melotte 227
(Collinder 411; OCL 918; ESO 025 18; MWSC 3299)
Summary
Melotte 227 is a poorly populated, very loose object of low C3 quality. It is located at a large distance from the Sun, well below the mid-plane. It is rarely studied in the literature, with no articles listed in the last 6 years.
Warning: the low UTI value and no obvious signs of duplication (C_dup=1.0) indicates that this is quite probably an asterism, moving group, or artifact, and not a real open cluster.
