Overview
ℹī¸
NGC 2348 is a sparse, very loose object of intermediate 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 rarely studied in the literature, with no articles listed in the last 7 years.

(*): The parallax distance estimate (~97.09 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~1.59 kpc).

⚠ī¸ Warning: the low UTI value and no obvious signs of duplication (Cdup=1.0) indicate that this is quite probably an asterism, moving group, or artifact, and not a real open cluster.

Cantat-Gaudin & Anders (2020)
Loose grouping marked as unverified or non-existent. Listed in catalogues with parameters but commonly classified as a cluster remnant. More details in Appendix A of the article.
