Abstract
In this paper we report briefly on a study of the mass loss of early type stars in the infrared. Up to now near infrared (1.25 – 4.8 µ) broad band photometry of 70 southern OB stars of various luminosity class has been secured. Program stars have been selected, among those bright enough in the infrared to give a suitable photometric accuracy, in order to cover a wide range of spectral types (Fig. 1).
