The absolute magnitudes of carbon stars: carbon stars in binary systems.
Abstract
Absolute visual magnitudes have been determined for carbon stars belonging to binary systems. These range from about 0 to brighter than -4, with a mean value of -2.3 for N stars. Bolometric corrections are deduced, giving bolometric absolute magnitudes in the range -4 to -8. Subject headings: carbon stars - luminosities - visual double or multiple stars
