梅西耶46M46,也称为NGC 2437,是在船尾座的一个疏散星团。它于1771年被梅西耶发现,Dreyer描述它是"非常明亮、非常丰富、非常大"。M46距离地球大约4,920 光年[1],估计有约500颗恒星,总质量大约是453 M[2],年龄大约是2亿5120万年[1]

星团的潮汐半径是37.8 ± 4.6 ly(11.6 ± 1.4 pc),核半径是8.5 ± 1.3 ly(2.6 ± 0.4 pc)[2]。它在红外空间上比可见光有更大的空间扩展,表明这个星团正在经历一些质量区隔,较黯淡(较红)的恒星迁移至晕区。由于过去的交互作用,向南和西南延伸的黯淡恒星可能会形成潮汐尾[4]

行星状星云NGC 2438似乎在集团内靠近星团北侧的边缘(影像顶部中心模糊的斑点),但因为径向速度与星团的其他成员不同,因此可能与星团无关[5][6]。这是可能与NGC 2818类似,是一个叠加的范例[5][7]。 另一方面,使双极性的葫芦星云发光的恒星与M46有着相同的径向速度和自行,还有相同的距离,因此是这个疏散星团真正的成员[8]

M46邻近另一个疏散星团梅西耶 47[9]。在天球上,M46在M47东方约一度,因此在双筒望远镜或广角的天文望远镜的视野中可以同时看见这两个疏散星团。
