Overview
UBC 93 is a rich, very 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 massive, near-solar metallicity, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the age and metallicity parameters (see Parameters). It is poorly studied in the literature.
(*): The parallax distance estimate (~3.17 kpc) differs significantly from the median photometric distance (~2.25 kpc).
