Overview
UPK 41 is a rich, very dense object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a very close distance, near the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a near-solar metallicity, very young cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the distance, absorption, and age parameters (see Parameters). It is poorly studied in the literature.
Note: This object shares a small percentage of members with 4 later reported entries. See table with shared members information.
