Overview

ℹ️

UPK 21 is a moderately populated, very dense object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a close 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 moderately studied in the literature.

Close Moderate extinction Near-solar metallicity Intermediate age
