Overview

â„šī¸
Theia 978 is a poorly populated, very loose object of low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a close distance, above the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a metal-rich, intermediate-age cluster (see Parameters). It was recently reported in the literature.

âš ī¸ Warning: the low UTI value and no obvious signs of duplication (Cdup=1.0) indicate that this is quite probably an asterism, moving group, or artifact, and not a real open cluster.

Liu et al. (2025)
Classified as primordial binary cluster 353 along with HSC_446, and as tidal capture (resonant trapping binary) 392 along with UPK_65, and of multiple system 81 along with HSC_446 and UPK_65.

Palma et al. (2025)
Part of multiple system G178, along with HSC_437, HSC_446, UPK_56 and UPK_65.

Cavallo et al. (2024)
Gold sample.
