Overview

â„šī¸
UPK 79 is a poorly populated, loose object of intermediate 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 moderately studied in the literature.

Palma et al. (2025)
Classified as optical pair (not dynamically associated) P181, along with UPK_85.

Cavallo et al. (2024)
Gold sample.

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