Overview
OC 0279 is a poorly populated, very dense object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a very close distance, below the mid-plane, affected by low extinction. It is catalogued as a low-mass, near-solar metallicity, very young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the absorption and metallicity parameters (see Parameters). It is poorly studied in the literature.
Note: This object shares a large percentage of members with a later reported entry. See table with shared members information.
