Overview

â„šī¸
UBC 491 is a poorly populated, moderately dense object of low C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate distance, near the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, very young cluster (see Parameters). It is poorly studied in the literature.

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