O9.5V Garrison94 does not list a O9.5V anchor standard, but MK73 lists sig Ori as the O9.5V dagger standard. Unfortunately sig Ori is a tight (0".7) binary, so its not clear that it should be considered the best available standard.

Unfortunately the companion is bright enough to make an effect (Edwards76 called it O9V+B0.5V!). logN_NI = 20.52+-0.09 (Bohlin85), 20.56+-0.07 (Schull85), adopt logNH = 20.54. Then adopting Savage & Mathis (1979) logNH/E(B-V) = 4.8e21 atoms/cm^2/mag, then E(B-V) = 0.072.

B-V = -0.281+-0.006 (Mermilliod91), B-V=-0.28 (Johnson66), B-V = -0.274+-0.013 (HIP), U-B=-1.077+-0.064 (Mermilliod91), V = 5.169+-0.004 (Mermilliod91), V=5.18 (HIP), V-I = -0.30+-0.03 (HIP). Johnson66 does not list a U-B magnitude. There are three spectroscopic estimates of the hydrogen column density towards mu Col from Lyman alpha absorption: logN_HI[cm^-2] = 19.90+-0.10 (York76), 20.04+-0.07 (Shull85), 19.85+-0.09 (Bohlin75). If we take the median value (N_HI = 19.9 cm^-2), and the conversion from N_(HI+H2)/E(B-V) from Savage & Mathis 1979 (5.8e21 atoms/cm^2; and assuming negligble H2), I estimate E(B-V) = 0.0137 mag. This would suggest that mu Col's intrinsic color is (B-V)o = (B-V)obs - E(B-V) = -0.281 - 0.0137 = -0.295. Combining Mermilliod91 averaged colors with the updated Q-method calibration (10/8/2011), I estimate (B-V)o = -0.310, (U-B)o = -1.102, E(B-V)=0.036, Av=0.116.
