Overview

ℹ️

Ruprecht 56 is a sparse, very loose object of low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a large^* distance, below the mid-plane, affected by low extinction. It is catalogued as a low-mass, near-solar metallicity, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the age and mass parameters (see Parameters). It is moderately studied in the literature.

(*): The parallax distance estimate (~5.98 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~0.43 kpc).

Very close Low extinction Low mass Near-solar metallicity Intermediate age
