Overview

â„šī¸
UBC 260 is a poorly populated, very dense object of intermediate 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, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the absorption and age parameters (see Parameters). It is poorly studied in the literature.

âš ī¸ Warning: This is very likely a duplicate object, which shares a large percentage of members with at least one previously reported entry. See table with shared members information.
