ADC_Keywords: Stars, carbon ; Magnitudes ; MK spectral classification

Description:
   A catalog of 3219 cool carbon stars of which over 500 were previously
   unpublished. Cool carbon stars are defined as stars whose spectra a low
   dispersion (no better than 1-2 angstroms) are known to show bands of the
   Swan system of the C2 molecule.  For each of the stars in the catalog,
   photographic, visual, and infrared magnitudes; a spectral classification;
   and both equatorial and galactic coordinates are given.
  
   This machine version of the catalog contains the following differences
   to the original printer version: (1) The equatorial coordinates have been
   quota only to arcseconds for right ascension and to tenths of an arcsecond
   for declination; and (2) the galactic coordinates have been calculated
   from the equatorial coordinates rather than using the original printed
   numbers.
