Overview

ℹ️

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, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a massive, near-solar metallicity, very young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the age, metallicity, 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).

Distant Moderate extinction Massive Near-solar metallicity Very young
