Compiled data of C- and M-type stars in solar neighborhood.
Abstract
Physical and kinematic data for 321 carbon stars and 1490 M-type stars with measured radial velocities are compiled from various catalogs and papers. The data for the carbon stars include C classifications, apparent magnitudes, radial velocities, proper motions, and variable-star types where applicable. The data for the M stars include spectral types and luminosity classes, apparent magnitudes, radial velocities, proper motions, and color indices. Tables are provided indicating the number of carbon stars in each group of C types and variable types, comparisons between the MK and Mt. Wilson spectral types of the M stars, the names of the variable M stars, and the M-star distributions in terms of spectral type and luminosity class. Plots are presented which illustrate the frequency distributions of the observed radial velocities and the total proper motions of the M stars in each luminosity class.
