Abstract
We report photometric, polarimetric and spectroscopic observations of SAO 206462 in the optical, near-infrared and submillimetre. The system has near- and far-infrared excesses, and emissions from atomic hydrog en and PAH molecules. We interpret these data and the IRAS far-infrare d photometry in terms of a dusty environment around the star. SAO 2064 62 is unique in being a solar-type, Vega-excess star with an organic c omponent to its surrounding dust.
