Cool Galactic Carbon Stars, 2nd Edition

Cool carbon stars are defined as stars whose spectra at low dispersion (say a resolution no better than 1-2 angstroms) are known to show bands of the Swan system of the C2 molecule; or, if the spectral region of the Swan system is inadequately observed, they show the red or infrared bands of CN in strength adequate to infer that the Swan bands almost certainly would be seen if their presence could be tested.

The closing date for literature search was 1989 June 30, defined by literature received in the author's library by that date. The catalog includes equatorial coordinates (B1900.0); photographic, visual, and infrared magnitudes; spectral types, galactic coordinates, and cross identifications to various other designation systems.
