Astrometric and photometric plots for the members of CUMA. The top row shows R.A., decl., the Gaia color–magnitude diagram, PM R.A. (μR.A.), PM decl. (μdecl.), radial velocity, and parallax (π). The bottom row shows the 3D Galactic positions (X, Y, Z) and the 3D Galactic velocities (VX, VY, VZ). We show in light-purple the candidate members (“CUMA C”) and in purple the high-likelihood members (“CUMA HM”). We obtained these classifications from the MOCA database. We also include in orange the members of the UMA cluster from B. K. Capistrant et al. (2024). In a yellow star we show COCONUTS-2 A, and in green COCONUTS-2 b. We find that the components of COCONUTS-2 agree well with the cluster in 3D velocity and position, while staying closer to each other, confirming that they are a binary.
