All Tables

Table 1: List of observed carbon stars and their main characteristics. The columns give the running number, the 2MASS name, the galactic coordinates, the B and R magnitudes and the B-R colour index, the $J H K_{\rm s}$ magnitudes from 2MASS and the $J-K_{\rm s}$ colour index.
Table 2: List of known very red C stars with $J-K_{\rm s} >3$ , f₁₂ < 7 Jy, and located out of the Galactic plane. After the names and galactic coordinates, this table provides the IRAS 12 $\mu$ m flux, $K_{\rm s}$ and $J-K_{\rm s}$ from 2MASS, distances d and heights Z above the Galactic plane.
Table 3: Properties of the halo C stars. The table lists the running number, the galactic coordinates l and b in degrees, the interstellar colour excess measured in the direction of the object, E_B-V from Schlegel et al. maps, the dereddened $J-K_{\rm s}$ colour, the adopted $K_{\rm s}$ -band absolute magnitude, the distance d to the Sun in kpc, the galactocentric XYZ coordinates in kpc, and the distance D to the Sgr Stream average plane, in kpc.
