Carbon stars in the SMC globular clusters NGC 121, NGC 419, and Kron 3

Journal Article · · Mon. Notic. Roy. Astron. Soc., v. 164, no. 1, pp. 15P-18P

Spectroscopic observations of stars with (B-- V) near 2.0 or greater in NCC 121, NGC 419, and Kron 3 have revealed carbon stars in each cluster. Statistics of very red stars show that they are unlikely to be field stars. These carbon stars have M/sub v/ = --3.0. Some observations of the galactic globular cluster NGC 362 are also reported.
