V381 Sco Speaking of a long-period EB candidate (with regards to OW Gem), I have found an interesting object (V381 Sco), which was considered as a long-period (P=6545 d) eclipsing binary. I wonder whether someone is regularly monitoring for another fade. The GCVS type is EA/GS. The star is detected as a MSX5C source, and has a moderate IR excess. Some of the literature gave a classification of an OH/IR object. What is the true nature of the object?
