Popis: | The open star cluster NGC 1605 has recently been reported to in fact consist of two clusters (one intermediate-aged and one old) that merged via a flyby capture. Here we show that Gaia data do not support this scenario. We also report the serendipitous discovery of a new open cluster, Can Batll\'o 1, with a similar age and distance. Comment: Accepted by RNAAS. 2 pages, 1 figure. Online material here: https://github.com/fjaellet/ngc1605 |
