Overview

ℹ️

Moffat 1 is a poorly populated, very dense object of very high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate distance, near the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a metal-rich, very young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the mass parameter (see Parameters). It is well-studied in the literature.

Relatively close Moderate extinction Metal-rich Very young

Almeida et al. (2025)
Mass determination: invalid due to poor quality CMD. Isochrone match: worst fit.
