Absolute magnitudes of carbon stars in the solar vicinity.
Abstract
Absolute magnitudes of carbon stars are studied by performing a statistical analysis of radial velocities and proper motions listed in the Preliminary AGK3 Catalog. The mean visual absolute magnitude of carbon stars varies with temperature subclass of the C classification from -1.3 at about C2 to -2.4 at about C7. The bolometric absolute magnitudes are 2.2 and -5.5 at C2 and C7, respectively.
