Scientific paper
A number of late-type stars of various luminosity classes have been observed in three infrared colors to study the luminosity dependence of the '1.65-micron peak' around the minimum of H(-) absorption. An unexpected luminosity dependence (lower peaks) has been found for K and early M supergiants as compared with the giants. Comparisons with model-atmosphere computations, which are in relatively good agreement with the observations, explain the effect as the result of blocking by CO and CN lines in the infrared.
