Overview
NGC 6357 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 very high extinction. It is catalogued as a massive, near-solar metallicity, very young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the distance and age parameters (see Parameters). It is moderately studied in the literature.
Note: This is very likely a unique object, which shares a very small percentage of members with at least one previously reported entry. See table with shared members information.
