Keenan, Philip C. ; Schroeder, Leon W. Abstract Several groups of strong bands in the XX 74()( 8600 region of late M-type stars are identified as members of a new infrared system of the VO molecule. Measurements on laboratory arc spectra allow a provisional vibrational analysis of the infrared system into sets of eight main components. Like the wellknown yellow bands (system A), the bands of the new system originate from the ground level of the molecule. The infrared VO bands appear to be present in all M-type stars of type M7 or later and become very strong in the coolest long-period variables. As the temperature decreases, they increase in strength relative to the adjacent TiO bands.
