Scientific paper

Physical quantities for the massive components of β Sco A, the brightest member of the multiple system β Sco, are calculated on the basis of the spectroscopic orbit elements and of the photometric measurements carried out when the system underwent occultations. The age of the system is determined by using Stother's (1972) evolutionary models. The stars of the Upper Scorpius complex (to which β Sco belongs), that are earlier than (B-V)0 = -0.20, agree with the same value of the age (log t ranging from 6.7 and 6.8, t in years), but later stars appear to be older. An analysis of the various data used supports the value of 170 pc as the mean distance to Upper Scorpius.
