Overview

â„šī¸
UBC 40 is a poorly populated, very dense object of intermediate 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, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the absorption and age parameters (see Parameters). It is moderately studied in the literature.

Liu et al. (2025)
Classified as primordial binary cluster 372 along with UBC_41.

Palma et al. (2025)
Classified as optical pair P604, along with UBC_41.

Cavallo et al. (2024)
Gold sample.

Almeida et al. (2025)
Mass determination: good fit. Isochrone match: good fit. Silver sample.
