A catalogue of M type stars.
Abstract
A catalogue of 2116 M type stars and 17 other type stars, carbon stars, S type stars and Wolf-Rayet stars, is compiled for the galactic center region between l = 351 and 1 deg and between b = -2 and +2 deg. The completeness for detectable M type stars is about 90% for early (M2 - M4) subclasses and 99% for intermediate (M5 - M6) and late (M6.5 - M8) subclasses. The catalogue should be useful for statistical studies of the galactic structure and for future studies on the properties of the stars.
