Galaxy: Open Clusters And Associations: Individual: Name: Scorpius Ob2
Scientific paper
The Sco OB2 complex is a member of the Local Association. The association contains pre-main-sequence stars in addition to objects some 3 x 10^7 yr old. If it is assumed that stars in wide binaries are coeval, then the He-weak variables in the supercluster are pre-main-sequence, elevated above that sequence by an amount similar to that of the 3 x 10^7 yr old, normal stars but contracting toward the sequence, not evolving from it. The apparent great depth of the association is probably a result of some foreground supercluster members, superposed on Sco OB2, and a rift in the absorption cloud between Scorpius and Ophiuchus. The adjoining Chamaeleon complex also appears to be a member of the supercluster.
