Abstract

We present multi-colour Stromgren photometry of the eclipsing binary V1034 Sco in the galactic open cluster NGC 6231, providing for the first time a full coverage of the orbital period (P = 2.44 days) and a complete analysis of the orbit. This extensive new photometry was analyzed together with multiband spectroscopy and results in an improved ephemeris, photometric elements and absolute parameters of the components. The system is close, but clearly detached. The masses of the components M1 = 16.8 ± 0.5 Mand M2 = 9.4 ± 0.3 Mdo not correspond to the published spectral classification (O9III + B1III). The parameters of the components are consistent with the main-sequence luminosity class. We independently derive a distance modulus V0 − MV = 10.73 ± 0.02.
