Overview
NGC 2414 is a rich, very dense object of very high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a large* distance, above the mid-plane. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, very young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the age and mass parameters (see Parameters). It is very well-studied in the literature. (*): The parallax distance estimate (~5.58 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~3.62 kpc).

💡 Note: The parameters are sometimes
transformed from their original values to match the format of the
columns shown here, see FAQ.
The columns DAv, Bfr, BSS correspond to differential
extinction, binary fraction, and blue stragglers, respectively.
BSS values can be listed as fractions or integers.
(*): indicates that this parameter is
assigned more than one value in the corresponding reference.
