Overview

ℹ️

NGC 2338 is a sparse, very loose object of low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate^* distance, above the mid-plane, affected by low extinction. It is catalogued as a low-mass, intermediate-age cluster (see Parameters). It is poorly studied in the literature.

(*): The parallax distance estimate (~3.12 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~1.73 kpc).

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

Relatively close Low extinction Low mass Intermediate age
