Notes.

(a)

In the future Gaia will provide a very accurate parallax for this object. Hipparcos found a parallax of about 1 kpc (van Leeuwen 2007).

(b)

Assuming a single star evolution for MWC 137.

(c)

Using a bolometric correction of BC = −3.03 (for a B0 star; Pecaut & Mamajek 2013).

(d)

Assuming an inclination angle of 45°.
