Overview

â„šī¸
UBC 261 is a poorly populated, loose object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate distance, below the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the age parameter (see Parameters). It is poorly studied in the literature.

Note: This is a unique object, which shares a very small percentage of members with at least one previously reported entry. See table with shared members information.
