V-(V-I) distance to Lupus 2.

KNUDE J. and NIELSEN A.S.

Abstract (from CDS):

We report a possible distance to the star forming cloud Lupus 2 of 360pc, at least 150 pc larger than previously suggested. Despite the cloud's small angular size and remoteness this distance estimate is corroborated by Hipparcos/Tycho data for field stars. The increased distance changes the mass estimate from 100 to ∼600M_☉ more like the masses for the other Lupus clouds, but more interestingly the virial ratio of the two C¹⁸O cores in Lupus 2 will be lowered by a factor of 2.4 making Lupus 2 more like Taurus than the remaining Lupus cores
