To this end we have carried out cross-identifications between the new IRAS Low-Resolution Spectrum （LRS） database and the new carbon star catalog, CGCS3. We have found nine new silicate carbon stars with silicate features around 10μm and/or 18 μm. These newly identified stars are located in the Regions Ilia and VII in the IRAS two-color diagram, which means they indeed have typical far infrared colors of silicate carbon stars. The infrared properties of each of these sources are discussed.展开更多

Continuum variations of those carbon stars show that during the central star pulsations when carbon stars become fainter in the infrared, their ISO SWS spectra become redder and the near-IR temperature （Tnir） decreases. When carbon stars become brighter in the infrared, their ISO SWS spectra become bluer and Tnir increases. Furthermore, it is found that the shorter 1abe wavelength of spectral features, such as the 2.48＋2.58 （C2H2＋HCN＋CO＋C2）, 3.05 （C2H2＋HCN） and 3.90 （C2H2） μm features, is, the better the correlation of their relative integrated fluxes with the fluxes of the continuum is.
