Overview
Teutsch 2 is a rich, very dense object of intermediate C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate distance, above the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the metallicity and mass parameters (see Parameters). It is moderately studied in the literature.
Note: This object contains blue stragglers according to at least one source.
