Stellar Energy Distributions in an Infrared Cluster in ARA

Thirteen stars have been observed at near-infrared wavelengths (0.71-1.05 in a heavily reddened cluster in Ara. Five stars appear to be M supergiants, while the remainder are 013 stars. The mean interstellar absorption, Av, is 12.8 mag for the 013 stars and may be somewhat greater for the M stars. Subject headings: infrared - luminous stars - open clusters
