Abstract
The carbon star is one of the best probes for the galactic study; (1) it is intrinsicaUy bright (Mbo~ = 2 to 6) especially in the red and infrared wavelength regions, (2) it has spectral features readily detectable on objective prism plates due to their strong carbon molecular bands, (3) it is an evolved star distributed abundantly (,~1 star per square degree) along the galactic plane. We can detect it in the Galaxy up to several kpc from the sun on objective prism plates of the Schmidt telescope.
