Description
This catalogue contains data on 318 cool carbon stars discovered on objective prism photographs taken with the Schmidt Telescope (80/120/240 cm) of the Radioastrophysical Observatory at Baldone near Riga. Green-yellow survey (BC Nos 1-217) is made on the ortochromatic astronomical films A-600. Reciprocial dispersion of the spectra: 600 A/mm or 1130 A/mm at H-gamma. The region of the sky covered by the survey: 1) 4.5 degrees wide zones centered on the galactic latitudes +7 and -7 degrees between longitudes 68 and 200 degrees, 2) equatorial zone at longitudes 84-96 degrees and 172-180 degrees, 3) several other separate fields with five degrees diameter. Infrared survey (BC Nos 218-318) made on the infrared Kodak plates 1N with the filter Schott RG1. Reciprocial dispersion: 2500 A/mm at the atmospheric A-band. The region of the sky covered: 1) 4.5 degrees wide zone centered on the galactic latitude +7 degrees between longitudes 128 and 140 degrees, 2) region between latitudes +9.5 and -9.5 degrees and longitudes between 80 and 96 degrees.
