Scientific paper

The cyanogen distribution among the subgiants in NGC 362 has been investigated by using a panoramic photometry technique employing narrowband filters designed to measure the strength of the lambda 3883 CN band. This distribution is found to be bimodal, with a heavy preference towards CN-rich stars. The cyanogen variations are found among giants two magnitudes fainter than the Sweigart and Mengel critical luminosity at which CN surface abundance variations are predicted to first appear.
