The cluster is following an orbit through the Milky Way that has a period of 227.4 million years with an ellipticity of 0.06, carrying it as far as 28 kly (8.6 kpc) from the Galactic Center, and as close as 25 kly (7.7 kpc).

The inclination of the orbit carries it up to 260 light-years (80 parsecs) away from the galactic plane.

[3][4] One notable member is LOri167, which is a wide binary consisting of a potential planetary-mass object and a brown dwarf.

[6] The cluster might have formed in the central region of an elongated cloud, which is supported by the distribution of pre-main-sequence star candidates, which are concentrated in the cluster and nearby regions in an elongated shape.

This was interpreted as a remnant of a supernova that exploded one million years ago.
