Overview

â„šī¸
UBC 255 is a moderately populated, very dense object of very high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a close distance, below the mid-plane, affected by low extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, old cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the absorption and metallicity parameters (see Parameters). It is moderately studied in the literature.
