Title: The field of Loden 112 Authors: Nadia Kaltcheva, Valeri Golev
Based on the available uvbybeta photometry of OB stars in the longitude range 281 - 285 deg in the Galactic disk, we identify a feature of young stars at 1630±82 pc, that is probably connected to the compact cluster candidate Loden 112 and the open cluster IC 2581. This feature seems to be spatially correlated to RCW 48 and RCW 49 and several other smaller HII regions.
