Figure 5: Colour and magnitude comparisons between the C stars discovered in this survey and the ones identified by Nowotny et al. (2003). The upper panel compares the (R-I) colour distributions revealing the different blue limits. The lower panel contrasts the luminosity functions. The dotted histogram is the Nowotny sample. The shaded area corresponds to their C stars with (V-I)0 < 1.75, too blue to be included in our list. |
