Scientific paper

The method of photometric parallax (MV/V-I relation) has been applied to a UK Schmidt Telescope field towards the South Galactic Pole to derive a kinematically unbiased luminosity function for low mass stars. We present here the discovery of one such star, RG0050-2722, which has an absolute magnitude MV ≍ +19, and is 25±6 pc from the Sun. This is only the second star known to have MV > +18.
