Giant M stars in Baade's Window

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Near-infrared small-dispersion spectra obtained with a grism at the prime focus of CTIO's 4-m telescope have been used to survey and classify late-type red giants found in a circular area with a diameter of 24.4 arcmin which is contained within Baade's Window.

Description

The survey is complete to a distance that extends past the galactic nuclear bulge. The presented stars therefore constitute a unique complete sample of the red giant population of the nuclear bulge.

A total of 306 red giants, including all giants of type M6 or later, are presented with a list of their coordinates, spectral classes, and apparent I magnitudes. A finding chart is also given. No C or S stars were found even though they should have been detected if they exist.
