Overview

ℹ️

NGC 133 is a moderately populated, very dense object of very high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate^* distance, above the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, young 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 (~4.47 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~1.86 kpc).

Note: This object shares a large percentage of members with a later reported entry. See table with shared members information.
