Overview

ℹ️

Wit 2 is a moderately populated, very dense object of high C3 quality. Its parallax locates it at a moderate distance, above the mid-plane, affected by moderate extinction. It is catalogued as a metal-poor, intermediate-age cluster, but with a large variance across recent sources for the age parameter (see Parameters). It is poorly studied in the literature.

Note: This object shares a small percentage of members with at least one entry reported in the same catalogue. See table with shared members information.
