Overview

â„šī¸
UBC 502 is a moderately populated, very dense object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a relatively close distance, near the mid-plane, affected by low extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the metallicity parameter (see Parameters). It is moderately studied in the literature.

Liu et al. (2025)
Classified as tidal capture (resonant trapping binary) 361 along with Theia_2151.

Palma et al. (2025)
Classified as optical pair P171, along with Theia_2151.
