NGC 2516
NGC 2516 is an open star cluster in the southern sky in the constellation Carina discovered by Abbe Lacaille in 1751-1752. It is most commonly referred to as NGC 2516 but is also known as the Sprinter.〔"''Imaging the Southern Sky : An Amateur Astronomer’s Guide''" Chadwick, S., Cooper, I., pg.viii, Pub. Springer (2012)〕 ==Description== This bright cluster itself is easily visible with the naked eye as a hazy patch, but is resolvable into stars using binoculars. It contains two 5th magnitude red giant stars and three main visual double stars: HJ 4027, HJ 4031 and I 29. A small telescope would be required to split the double stars, which are all pairs of 8-9 magnitude and 1-10 arcseconds separation.〔Burnham (1978), Vol I p.458〕 NGC 2516 and the recently discovered nearby star cluster Mamajek 2 in Ophiuchus have similar age and metallicity. Recently, kinematic evidence was presented by E. Jilinksi and coauthors that suggests that these two stellar groups may have formed in the same star-forming complex some 135 million years ago.
