Overview

â„šī¸
UPK 46 is a moderately populated, loose object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a close distance, below 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 poorly studied in the literature.

Almeida et al. (2025)
Mass determination: intermediate fit. Isochrone match: good fit.

Cavallo et al. (2024)
Gold sample.

Hunt & Reffert (2024)
Classified as open cluster. CMD class: 0.99 (50th percentile).

Hunt & Reffert (2023)
Classified as open cluster. CMD class: 0.99 (50th percentile).
