IC 4651 is an open cluster of stars located about 2,900 light years distant in the constellation Ara.

[4] This is an intermediate age cluster that is 1.2 ± 0.2 billion years old.

[5] Compared to the Sun, the members of this cluster have a higher abundance of the chemical elements other than hydrogen and helium.

Of the remainder, about 35% of the mass consists of stars that have evolved into white dwarfs or other stellar remnants.

[7] The star IC 4651 9122 displays radial velocity variations suggesting the presence of a planetary companion, though stellar activity cannot be completely ruled out.
