Abstract

We have analysed the data of 2.7 μm Equatorial Infrared Catalogue-1 (EIC-1) to study the space density distribution ofK andM type giants in the solar neighbourhood by attempting to fit the EIC-1 data with the models of Mikami and Ishida (1981) for space density distribution of late-type giants.

We present the results of our analysis.
