Overview

â„šī¸
PHOC 31 is a moderately populated, moderately dense object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a relatively close distance, near the mid-plane, affected by low extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the absorption, age, and metallicity parameters (see Parameters). It is rarely studied in the literature.
