Overview

ℹ️

NGC 2132 is a sparse, very loose object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a very large^* distance, well below the mid-plane, affected by low extinction. It is catalogued as an old cluster (see Parameters). It is poorly studied in the literature, with no articles listed in the last 7 years.

(*): The parallax distance estimate (~-105.26 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~1.36 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.

Relatively close Low extinction Old

Cantat-Gaudin et al. (2020)
Not studied in detail and classified as non-existent in early catalogues. Later catalogues list it as a possible remnant with uncertain parameters. More details in Appendix A of the article.
