Overview
UBC 251 is a moderately populated, very dense object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a relatively close distance, near the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, young cluster (see Parameters). It is moderately studied in the literature.
Note: This is very likely a unique object, which shares a very small percentage of members with at least one previously reported entry. See table with shared members information.
