Upper Sco member. Wide disagreement on subtype. 4/4/2012: I looked at spectrum in the FAST archive. It is an SB2 - lines from companion visible even at few Angstrom resolution. Not appropriate as a standard. Visually, the unresolved spectrum looks intermediate between B3V (eta UMa) and B5V (kap Hya), I would say B4+-1 V.
