Overview
ℹī¸
Stock 2 is a very rich, very dense object of very high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a very close distance, near the mid-plane, affected by moderate 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 metallicity parameters (see Parameters). It is very well-studied in the literature.
Very close Moderate extinction Massive Near-solar metallicity Intermediate age
