摘要：

We use photometric and spectroscopic observations of 31 field stars in Lupus to determine the distance to the dark clouds. A plot of extinction vs distance for the field stars indicates a distance of 140 +/- 20 pc to the Lupus clouds, which is at the lower end of the range defined by previous estimates. One of the ''field'' stars has weak Halpha emission and a far-infrared excess, indicating that it is a previously uncatalogued pre-main-sequence star.
