Abstract

Photometric and spectroscopic observations of the star SAO 75669 in the region of the high galactic latitude molecular cloud MBM 12 are presented. The optical, near-infrared and far-infrared IRAS photometric magnitudes together with the observed CCD spectrum and the large degree of polarization are consistent with the star being and M type giant behind the molecular cloud MBM 12 suffering about 1.8 magnitudes visual extinction. The wavelength dependence of polarization indicates that the dust in the cloud is normal.
