Scientific paper

LMC (R-I)KC photometry is presented, in conjunction with JHK photometry of carbon stars that are suspected of being CH stars and can be shown, in view of their luminosity, not to belong to the LMC's old stellar population. It is argued that the present luminosity and color distributions, as well as the kinematical properties noted by Cowley and Harwick (1991), are consistent with this association of this sample of carbon stars with a younger population of AGB stars compared to Blanco et al.'s (1980) carbon stars.
