Overview
NGC 6360 is a sparse, very loose object of intermediate C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a very large* distance, well above the mid-plane, affected by high extinction. It is catalogued as a young cluster (see Parameters). It is rarely studied in the literature, with no articles listed in the last 12 years.
(*): The parallax distance estimate (~26.53 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~1337.00 kpc).
â ī¸ Warning: the low UTI value and no obvious signs of duplication (Cdup=1.0) indicate that this is quite probably an asterism, moving group, or artifact, and not a real open cluster.
