Overview
ℹī¸
NGC 6913 is a rich, very dense object of very high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a relatively close distance, near the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, very young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the metallicity and mass parameters (see Parameters). It is very well-studied in the literature.

Note: This object shares a very small percentage of members with 3 later reported entries. See table with shared members information.

Liu et al. (2025)
Classified as primordial binary cluster 155 along with FoF_2179, and of multiple system 17 along with FoF_2179, Berkeley_87 and Berkeley_86.

Palma et al. (2025)
Part of multiple system G75, along with HSC_599, Berkeley_86, LP_2179 and Berkeley_87.

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

Cavallo et al. (2024)
Gold sample.

Hunt & Reffert (2024)
Classified as open cluster. CMD class: 0.85 (50th percentile).

Ahumada & Lapasset (2007)
The apparent cluster diameter was taken from (1970PDDO....4....1H). The de- reddened diagram of (1988A&AS...72..193J) was examined.
