Infrared spectral properties of M giants
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We observed a sample of 20 M giants with the Infrared Spectrograph on the Spitzer Space Telescope.
Description
Most show absorption structure at 6.6-6.8um which we identify as water vapor, and in some cases, the absorption extends from 6.4um into the SiO band at 7.5um. Variable stars show stronger H_2_O absorption.
While the strength of the SiO fundamental at 8um increases monotonically from spectral class K0 to K5, the dependence on spectral class weakens in the M giants. As with previously studied samples, the M giants show considerable scatter in SiO band strength within a given spectral class. All of the stars in our sample also show OH band absorption, most noticeably in the 14-17um region.

The OH bands behave much like the SiO bands, increasing in strength in the K giants but showing weaker dependence on spectral class in the M giants, and with considerable scatter. An examination of the photometric properties reveals that the V-K color may be a better indicator of molecular band strength than the spectral class. The transformation from Tycho colors to Johnson B-V color is double-valued, and neither B-V nor B_T_-V_T_ color increases monotonically with spectral class in the M giants like they do in the K giants.
