The convergent point of the proper motions of all stars in the FK4 catalogue, Gould's belt (Clube) and the Scorpio–Centaurus association (Bertiau) have been discussed by a maximum likelihood method. About 10 per cent of them seem to form an expanding group with vertexbut the exact membership is vague and the group cannot be used for calibrating luminosity criteria.Confining the discussion to the neighbourhood of Scorpio–Centaurus greatly improves the concentration of co-movers and a firm list of 47 stars can be isolated. Their vertex is. The uncertainty isin the most important co-ordinate which produces a negligible uncertainty in the luminosities. TheKterm is uncertain by a factor of two because of the uncertainty of the vertex. The discussion is in good accord with Bertiau except that the FK4 proper motions are about 20 per cent bigger than the N30 proper motions used by him and consequently all the luminosities are about 0m.4 fainter. The distances correlate well with galactic longitude; the residual scatter is 18 per cent at most. Luminosities derived from hydrogen line indices and spectral types are re-discussed. The changes in luminosity produced by rotation predicted by Hardorp & Strittmatter are compared with observation.Of the double stars, one visual binary,γLup, provides a measure of mass and two others should provide orbits if carefully followed. The eclipsing binaryµ1Sco is a member and provides a measure of mass, radius, luminosity and surface brightness.
