Overview
ℹ️
NGC 6192 is a very rich, very dense object of very high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a relatively close distance, above the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a massive, near-solar metallicity, intermediate-age 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.

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

Cavallo et al. (2024)
Gold sample.

Hunt & Reffert (2024)
Classified as open cluster. CMD classes: 1.00 (50th percentile), true positive (human-assigned).

Rain et al. (2021)
This cluster was include in (Dias et al., 2002A&A...389..871D, Cat. B/ocl) however, parameters log(t)=8.251, Av=1.731, [Fe/H]=0.120 were taken from Bossini et al. (2019A&A...623A.108B, Cat. J/A+A/623/A108).

Ahumada & Lapasset (2007)
The dereddened colour-magnitude diagram of (1987Obs...107..107K) was examined.
