Overview
ℹī¸
NGC 2448 is a rich, very dense object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a relatively close distance, near the mid-plane, affected by low extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, 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.

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

Almeida et al. (2025)
Mass determination: good fit. Isochrone match: good fit.
