- C star population in outer disk of M31

- Description:
- We employ the CFH12K mosaic to identify carbon stars, using the R, I, CN, and TiO photometric technique, in a 2240 arcmin2 area, ranging from 17 to 30kpc of the southwest disk of M31, barely reaching the edge of the observed H I disk. We found 945 C stars with <I_0_>=19.94mag and {sigma}=0.47. The surface density of C stars along the major axis of M31 follows an exponential profile with a scale length of 4.85+/-0.35kpc, in agreement with adopted values for the scale length of the disk population. Our survey partially overlaps with the recently discovered G1 density enhancement by Ferguson et al. We confirm that no AGB star excess is detectable in the surveyed part of the clump. The C/M ratio, along the major axis, is derived over a distance range of 7kpc. The strong C/M gradient seen contrasts with results of previous studies of the C stars in M31.

- Description:
- We present results of a multifilter survey of the whole Magellanic-type galaxy IC 1613. Narrowband CN and TiO filters are used to identify carbon stars among red giants. We have identified 195 carbon stars, extending up to 15' from the center of the galaxy. We present well-calibrated R and I magnitudes for all stars. The large field surveyed allows a reliable foreground estimate of M stars, leading to a C/M ratio of 0.64, when giants as early as M0 are counted. Analysis of the photometric properties of the C star population reveals a narrow M_I_ distribution with a mean M_I_ of -4.69mag, with a dispersion of +/-0.28. IC 1613 has, for its absolute magnitude, a normal number of C stars.

- Description:
- We present the latest results of our ongoing four-filter photometric survey of C stars in Local Group dwarf irregular galaxies. Observations of the two low-luminosity dwarf irregular galaxies, Pegasus and DDO 210, revealed 40 and three C stars, respectively, assuming that the reddening of Pegasus is negligible. No C stars were identified in Tucana. Our observations permit the estimation of the color-magnitude diagram contamination by foreground M dwarfs thus yielding reliable C/M ratios. Our R and I photometry of the C stars cannot be used to solve the extinction controversy toward Pegasus. The three C stars in DDO 210 are quite bright when compared with C star populations in other dwarf galaxies. A larger, fainter population in that galaxy seems improbable, however. The statistics of C stars currently on hand for dwarf galaxies show a well-defined trend with the absolute magnitude of dwarf galaxies.

- C stars in Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte galaxy
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We used the CFH12K wide field camera to survey the carbon star population of the Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte system using the CN-TiO technique. 149 C stars are identified with a mean <I>=20.28, corresponding to <M_I_>=-4.65, a mean luminosity similar to what we found in other irregular galaxies. Star counts in and around the main body of WLM reveal that its stellar distribution is quite elliptical ({epsilon}=0.58) with major and minor axes of 26' and 11'. Comparison of the density profile of C stars and old red giants shows that their scale lengths differ by only 15% pointing to mixed populations. Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte is found to be unique among dwarf irregular galaxies by having essentially a handful of early-type AGB M stars thus leading to an extreme C/M ratio.

- Detection of C_5_N^-^ in IRC +10216
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/688/L83
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We report the detection in the envelope of the C-rich star IRC+10216 of four series of lines with harmonically related frequencies: B1389, B1390, B1394, and B1401. The four series must arise from linear molecules with mass and size close to those of C_6_H and C_5_N. Three of the series have half-integer rotational quantum numbers; we assign them to the ^2^{Delta} and ^2^{Sigma}^-^ vibronic states of C_6_H in its lowest ({nu}_11_) bending mode. The fourth series, B1389, has integer J with no evidence of fine or hyperfine structure; it has a rotational constant of 1388.860(2)MHz and a centrifugal distortion constant of 33(1)Hz; it is almost certainly the C_5_N^-^ anion.

- Disilicon carbide (SiCSi) discovery in CW Leo
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/806/L3
- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We report the discovery in space of a disilicon species, SiCSi, from observations between 80 and 350GHz with the IRAM 30m radio telescope. Owing to the close coordination between laboratory experiments and astrophysics, 112 lines have now been detected in the carbon-rich star CW Leo. The derived frequencies yield improved rotational and centrifugal distortion constants up to sixth order. From the line profiles and interferometric maps with the Submillimeter Array, the bulk of the SiCSi emission arises from a region of 6" in radius. The derived abundance is comparable to that of SiC_2_. As expected from chemical equilibrium calculations, SiCSi and SiC_2_ are the most abundant species harboring a Si-C bond in the dust formation zone and certainly both play a key role in the formation of SiC dust grains.

- Description:
- Table 10 is the full version of Table A1 given in Appendix. There are 441 entries corresponding to 441 spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 406 carbon stars and related objects studied in Papers I (<J/A+A/321/236>, II (<J/A+A/342/773> and III (<J/A+A/344/263>) (photometric group G in column 3 and extinction A(J) at J-filter in column 4). Two estimates of the effective temperature (Sect. 12) from the SED (calibrated color indices) and bolometric flux (integrated flux: 0.36 to 100{mu}m) are given in columns 5 and 6 respectively, together with the adopted mean value in column 7. Also given in column 8, the apparent bolometric magnitude of the SED/Star, and in column 9 as "remarks", the variation phase information whenever available, the detection of circumstellar extinction and/or emission with associated mbol2 in a few case (see Sect. 13).

- Description:
- The mass loss rates, expansion velocities and dust-to-gas density ratios from millimetric observations of 119 carbon-rich giants are compared, as functions of stellar parameters, to the predictions of recent hydrodynamical models. Distances and luminosities previously estimated from HIPPARCOS data, masses from pulsations and C/O abundance ratios from spectroscopy, and effective temperatures from a new homogeneous scale, are used.
