Scientific paper

Multicolor UBVRI photometry of stars towards M 17 demonstrate the existence of a young stellar group with partly heavily obscured O and B stars in this region. The photometric distance of this cluster is found to be 2.2 + or - 0.2 kpc. The photometric data can only be interpreted by assuming an abnormal reddening law with R equals 4.2 inside the dark cloud of M 17. The problem of the energy balance of M 17 is discussed by means of the observed early type stars.
