Abstract

A comparison between theGeneral Catalogue of Cool Carbon Stars (CCS) and theAFGL Catalogue has been performed.

Eighty-five stars have been found in common between the two lists. Eighty-four stars which were present in Baumert's comparison between CCS and the 2 μ Sky Survey have no counterpart in the AFGL. Four new tentative identifications are given. The analysis of the two colours diagrams K-[4.2 μ] vs. I-K and I-[4.2 μ] vs. [4.2 μ]-[11 μ] led to the conclusion that all the infrared emission from the sources seems to come from a single circumstellar shell.
