Overview
UBC 252 is a rich, very dense object of very high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a large* distance, below the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a massive, near-solar metallicity, old cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the metallicity parameter (see Parameters). It is moderately studied in the literature.
(*): The parallax distance estimate (~5.42 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~3.95 kpc).
Note: This object contains blue stragglers according to at least one source.
