Overview
ℹ️
Trumpler 23 is a very rich, very dense object of very high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate 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 metallicity and mass parameters (see Parameters). It is very well-studied in the literature.

Note: This object contains blue stragglers according to at least one source.

Relatively close Moderate extinction Massive Near-solar metallicity Intermediate age Contains BSS

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