List of stars
with known distance
(back to top)
- List of M stars
(back to top)
- They present a highly reliable flux-limited census of 18949 point sources in the Galactic midplane that
are selected from Spritzer GLIMPSE I and II survey
(274 deg^2) with intrinsic red middle IR colors ([4.5]-[8.0]>=1).
About 50-70% of them are YSOs, 30-50% are AGB stars, 2-3% are PNe or background galaxies. 1004 red sources in the GLIMPS II region (mostly
Mira type AGB stars) show significant (>=0.3mag) variability at 4.5 and 8 um
but with constant color [4.5-8.0] (incomplete due to 4.5um
saturation and only two epochs). This is to date the largest uniform
census of AGB stars and high- and intermediate-mass YSOs in the Galaxy.
A machine readable version of the catalog is here.

List of C stars in
LMC/SMC (back to top)
- Thirteen extreme C stars are identified in LMC using Spitzer IRAC and
MIPS data. They have extremely red
mid-IR colors, SiC and C2H2 absorption and broad MgS emission. They
are estimated to have much higher mass
loss rate (0.4~2x10^-4 Msun/yr) than C stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. How the C stars attain such high mass loss rate is
still a problem. (from Gruendl et al., 2008ApJ...688L...9G)

- List of ourflow sources: They collected all 391 known outflow sources from literature before Feb. 28 of 2003. Among them, 139 are high mass objects (judged from source mass or outflow mass). It is the first time to find a correlation between the outflow mass and the luminosity of the driving source. The outflows in massive objects can be two orders of magnitude more massive than in low mass stars but less collimated than in the latter. 90% of low mass outflows are associated with HH objects. 61% of high mass outflows are associated with H2O masers. 12% of the whole sample show signitures of infall or collapse.
