ADS 5322A, Ia? 4.62 - 4.67V. R-I also found at -0.11.
AB binary, 4.8 Oe5, 7.6 B7; C, 9.9v B8V at 17", physical, vsini 141k/s; D, 9.7v A6III at 41", physical, vsini 115k/s; | E1 the brighter component of E, B5V at 74", probably optical, vsini 253k/s; E2, A0V, vsini 132k/s.
Color excess E(B-V) = +0.07.
In cluster NGC 2264 #131; HII reg. S273; Mon OB1; T-Tauri assoc., Mon T1. The cluster appears to be the nucleus of the | association. In region of neutral hydrogen. Ionized Mon OB1 region probably excited by S Mon. The electron density of | the HII region increases toward the center of the cluster. (Note that OB associations MonI = IIMon = Mon OB1 and MonII = | IMon = OB2. In conversions from the earlier designations to OB1 and OB2 these groups have occasionally been | interchanged; however, they may be related.)
Also classified O8III((f)). uv 1240 absorption strong.
