Scientific paper

As ο Sco has been used by various authors to investigate the interstellar extinction and polarization laws in the infrared, it is important to confirm the reality of any infrared excess. In this paper, ground-based broad-band photometry covering the wavelength range 0.36 - 10 μm is combined with the IRAS measurements to show that no significant infrared excess is, in fact, present: the star's spectral energy distribution is entirely consistent with that of an A5 II star with the appropriate degree of reddening. An absolute visual magnitude for ο Sco in the range -4.3 to -4.7 is found, indicating that the star may be unusually luminous for its spectral type.
