Precision analysis of NGC 2158 with Gaia DR3 by Nasser M. Ahmed, A. L. Tadross

“…The cluster distance modulus and reddening are estimated to be 12.86 $$\pm$$ 0.080 , and 0.66 $$\pm$$ 0.040 mag, resulting in a distance of 3.733 $$\pm$$ 0.36 kpc. The mass function MF for the cluster under study has been constructed using a step function with two power lows, $$\alpha _1$$ and $$\alpha _2$$ , rather than the single power low suggested by Salpeter. …”
