Abstract:
The first results from a survey of circumstellar CO(1-0) emission are
presented. The sources were selected from the IRAS point source catalog
according to the IRAS color criteria described in van der Veen and Habing
(1988). The sources have good quality fluxes at 12, 25, and 60 microns,
flux densities larger than 20 Jy at 25 microns, and are situated more than
5 deg away from the Galactic plane. The survey is undertaken to study the
relationship between mass loss rates, dust properties, and the evolution
along the AGB. The sample consists of 787 sources and contains both oxygen
and carbon-rich stars, including Mira variables, OH/IR objects,
protoplanetary nebulae, planetary nebulae, and 60-micron excess sources.
So far, 519 objects, situated on both the northern and the southern sky,
have been observed; 163 sources were found to have circumstellar CO
emission, and in 58 of these CO emission has not previously been detected.

32- 37 F6.0 Jy F60 IRAS 60 micrometer flux density
39- 43 F5.3 K rms ? Rms noise the CO spectrum, given in K (Tmb).
45- 49 F5.2 K Tmb ? Main beam brightness peak intensity of the
detected line
51- 56 F6.1 km/s V0 ? Center velocity of the CO line (in km/s).
57 A1 --- n_V0 Remark on V0 (1)
59- 62 F4.1 km/s Vexp ? Expansion velocity. This is half of the
full line width at zero intensity.
64- 68 F5.1 km/s Ico ? CO intensity integrated over the whole line
(in K km/s, Tmb scale).
70- 71 I2 --- Ref ? Reference to a previous CO detection of
the source. (2)
73- 90 A18 --- Ident Source name (if different from the IRAS name).
An asterisk after the name indicates that
there is an interstellar line included in
the CO spectrum.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (1):
a. The centre velocity is uncertain up to +/-10 kms^-1 (see text).
b. Previous CO detections. For sources previously detected in CO (1--0)
emission and not detected by us, the CO (1--0) line was usually too weak
to be seen with our sensitivity limit, and in a few cases it may
only have been a tentative detection. Sources detected in the
CO (2--1) line are also listed as previous detections.
The CO (2--1) line can be brighter than the (1--0) line
because of optical depth and beam filling effects, and the
(1--0) line may be too weak to be detected.
