Overview
ℹī¸
NGC 2358 is a rich, very dense object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a close distance, near the mid-plane, affected by low extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the absorption and metallicity parameters (see Parameters). It is very well-studied in the literature.
Close Low extinction Near-solar metallicity Intermediate age
