Overview
Pismis 23 is a rich, very dense object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a large* distance, near the mid-plane, affected by very high extinction. It is catalogued as a massive, near-solar metallicity, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the age and mass parameters (see Parameters). It is well-studied in the literature.
(*): The parallax distance estimate (~5.33 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~3.79 kpc).
