 The age of NGC 1333 has been estimated in the1−2Myr rangeby Bally et al. (2008); Walawender et al. (2008); Gutermuth et al.(2008).

 The age of IC 348 was estimated in the 2-6 Myr range (luhman2003, bell 2013), with 3 Myr taken as a representative age by Luhmanet al. 2020.

 Kounkel et al. (2018) present a distance to the ONC of 386±3 pcusing an analysis of APOGEE,Gaia, and VLBA data

 In these studies, Rebull et al. have discovered that, withsensitive enough photometric monitoring, nearly all stars displayperiodic photometric variability.

  The optical variabilityof young (∼1−10Myr) low-mass stars was studied by Rebullet al. (2018, 2020) using theKeplerK2 mission, with high-cadence,high-precision single-band photometry.

  Ortiz-León et al. (2018) derive a distanceof321±10pc for IC 348, based on a combined analysis of VLBA andGaiaastrometry. Zucker et al. (2018) report a distance of295±14pcto IC 348, based on a joint Bayesian analysis of Pan-STARRS and2MASS photometry, CO kinematics, andGaiaastrometry. [

 NGC 1333– The star cluster NGC 1333, and its nearby compan-ion IC 348 (discussed below), are both part of the broader Perseusmolecular cloud (properties summarized by Bally et al. 2008), a star-forming molecular cloud with about104푀lying at approximately300 pc distance.
