Overview

â„šī¸
UBC 488 is a poorly populated, loose object of intermediate C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a large 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 age and metallicity parameters (see Parameters). It is rarely studied in the literature.

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

Cavallo et al. (2024)
