Overview

ℹ️

Ruprecht 78 is a rich, very dense object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a large^* distance, below the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the age and mass parameters (see Parameters). It is very well-studied in the literature.

(*): The parallax distance estimate (~8.96 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~1.72 kpc).

Relatively close Moderate extinction Near-solar metallicity Young
