Abstract

Identification of spectral lines from λ7700 to λ8800 has been carried out in twenty-four carbon stars: AQ And, UU Aur, W CMa, Y CVn, X Cnc, ST Cas, WZ Cas, AX Cyg, RS Cyg, U Cyg, V 460 Cyg, RY Dra, UX Dra, BL Ori, W Ori, RX Peg, Z Psc, 19 Psc, S Set, Y Tau. VY UMa, HD 137613, HD 156074, and HD 182040. The spectrograms used for this purpose were obtained at the coude foci of spectrographs attached to 100-inch reflector of Mt. Wilson, 200-inch reflector of Mt. Palomar, and 74-inch reflector of Okayama. From the microphotometric tracings of each spectrogram, it was found that the main contributors to the spectral features of the region investigated are lines of the CN Red System (A2Π-X2Σ). and lines of the C2 Phillips system (b1Πu–x1Σg) are minor ones.
