Overview

â„šī¸
Ruprecht 17 is a poorly populated, very loose object of low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a relatively close distance, below the mid-plane, affected by low extinction. It is catalogued as a low-mass, metal-rich, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the absorption parameter (see Parameters). It is poorly studied in the literature.

Palma et al. (2025)
Classified as tidal capture (resonant trapping pair) P32, along with HSC_1905.

Cavallo et al. (2024)
Gold sample.

Hunt & Reffert (2024)
