Scientific paper

Spectroscopic and photometric observations of the heavily reddened star HDE 283809 located in the direction of the Taurus dark cloud show that it belongs to spectral type B3; but at the same time it has a strong Ca II K line and a peculiar spectral energy distribution, with diminished violet and ultraviolet intensity but enhanced red and infrared emission. If the star does belong to the Taurus star-formation complex, its peculiarity might result from instability or the presence of a circumstellar envelope. If it is a galactic background star, it could be a binary, with the secondary component a late-type giant.
