On the distance to the Chamaeleon I and II associations
Constraints on the distances to the dark clouds Chamaeleon I and II areinvestigated in detail. A compilation of photometric data, spectraltypes and absolute magnitudes for field stars towards each cloud ispresented, and results are used to examine the distribution of reddeningwith distance along each line of sight. The distances to starsassociated with reflection nebulae in each cloud are examined in detail.On the basis of these results, we deduce the most probable distance ofCha I to be 160+/-15pc, and that of Cha II to be 178+/-18pc. Anexamination of the mean fluxes of T Tauri stars in each cloud providesindependent evidence to suggest that Cha II is significantly moredistant than Cha I. Both clouds appear to be embedded in a macroscopicsheet-like structure extending over much of the Chamaeleon-Musca-Cruxregion. The Chamaeleon III and DC\ts 300.2--16.9 clouds are probablypart of the same structure, with probable distances ~ 140--160pc.
| Four-colour UVBY and H-beta photometry of all stars earlier than G0 and brighter than MPG of about 10.7 M in Selected Area 203 towards the Chamaeleon-Musca dark clouds
Results are presented of Stromgren uvby(beta) photometry for 213 starsearlier than G0 and brigher than mpg of about 10.7 m inSelected Area 203. The observed area lies close to the geometric centerof the Chamaeleon-Musca dark clouds complex. The results yield V, (b-y),m1, c1, and beta on the standard systems, withoverall rms errors for one observation of one star of 0.010, 0.004,0.007, 0.009, and 0.011, respectively.
