泰尔让7是松散和年轻的球状星团,被认为起源于人马座矮椭球星系(Sag DEG)并与之有物理上的关联。相较之下它是富金属,它的金属量是[Fe/H] = -0.6[6],并且估计年龄是75亿岁[4]。泰尔让7有少量的镍([Ni/Fe]=-0.2),因为有著相似的化学特征,这支持它是人马座矮椭球星系的成员[7]。它有丰富的蓝掉队星,并且强烈的朝向中心集中[8]。它的平均亮度分布在Mv = -5.05.[9]。它的半光度半径(Rh)= 6.5秒差距[10]。

泰尔让7是法国天文学家阿戈普·泰尔让在1968年发现的[11]最亮的[12]六个球状星团之一[12]。
几乎所有的银河系的银晕的球状星团是同时形成(12-15 Gyr)。 即使是位于远处的NGC 2419(距离银河中心约100 kpc)也有相似的年龄。这种趋势也适用于大麦哲伦星系和天炉座矮星系(来自银河中心的约140 kpc)发现的球状团的年龄。
