Figure 3: Left: colour-colour diagram for all stars of sample 2. Also plotted are the selection areas for M and C-stars, as described in the text. Right: corresponding colour-magnitude diagram for all stars of sample 2. The identified C-stars from the selection areas, marked with open circles, lie on the uppermost parts of the RGB/AGB-sequences. |
