Overview

ℹ️

Tombaugh 4 is a rich, very dense object of very high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate distance, above the mid-plane, affected by high extinction. It is catalogued as a massive, near-solar metallicity, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the metallicity and mass parameters (see Parameters). It is very well-studied in the literature.

Distant High extinction Massive Near-solar metallicity Intermediate age

Almeida et al. (2025)
Mass determination: good fit. Isochrone match: good fit.
