Abstract
Broad-band infrared photometry and spectrophotometry with resolution 4A --0.015 over the wavelength range 2- is presented for a large number of 2 m Sky Suwey objects. All of these sources within the present sample except IRC +40091 (Lk Ha 101) are shown to have characteristics similar to stars of the conventional spectral sequence or perhaps a slight extension to cooler surface temperature. A progression of increasing optical depth of circumstellar dust surrounding the stars is demonstrated. No evidence for a cool stellar photosphere is observed for IRC +40091. Key words: infrared objects - infrared spectrophotometry - circumstellar dust

Classification and Identification of IRAS Sources with Low-Resolution Spectra

TL;DR: In this paper, low-resolution spectra were extracted for 11,224 IRAS sources and classified into astrophysical classes, based on the presence of emission and absorption features and on the shape of the continuum.

The SAGE-Spec Spitzer Legacy programme: the life-cycle of dust and gas in the Large Magellanic Cloud - Point source classification I

Paul M. Woods, +62 more
TL;DR: In this article, a decision-tree method of object classification based on infrared spectral features, continuum and spectral energy distribution shape, bolometric luminosity, cluster membership and variability information was used to classify the SAGE-Spec sample of point sources.

Presolar SiC in chondrites: How variable and how many sources?

TL;DR: In this article, the carbon and silicon isotropic compositions of 246 anomalous SiC grains measured in low-position residues were reported, and residues were prepared from nine chondrites, namely, 6 unequilibrated ordinary chondites (UOCs), Qingzhen (EH3), Leoville (CV3), and Murchison (CM2).
