Overview

â„šī¸
UBC 353 is a moderately populated, moderately dense object of very high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate distance, near the mid-plane, affected by high extinction. It is catalogued as a metal-rich, young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the distance parameter (see Parameters). It is rarely studied in the literature.

Note: This object shares a large percentage of members with 2 later reported entries. See table with shared members information.
