Stars: Wolf-Rayet, Ism: Dust, Extinction, Open Clusters And Associations: Individual (C1331-622)

Scientific paper

Photoelectric UBV photometry is presented for stars in a field closely adjacent to the Wolf-Rayet star WR 55 (WN7) in a search for a possible parent cluster. There is a group of at least eight stars ~7' south-southeast of the WR star forming a newly discovered, sparsely populated open cluster (designated C1331-622), but the stars are only 819+/-26 pc distant, less than a quarter of the predicted distance to WR 55.
