IRAS LRS Spectra of Cool Carbon Stars - Clues of Carbon Star Evolution
Abstract
The infrared properties of optically identified carbon stars were studied, and the results are reported. The 9.7 and 18 micron silicate features were detected in the LRS spectra of nine carbon stars. A schematic scenario for carbon star evolution based on the observations is presented.
