The Sco OB2 Association is convenient for investigation as it has a high galactic latitude and is therefore remote from the confusion of the galactic plane. Its distance is accurately known and this permits fairly precise estimates to be made of the Lyman continuum photon fluxes responsible for the radio emission. It includes the ρ Ophiuci dark cloud where star formation is occurring.
