Scientific paper

A sample of K dwarfs with H-alpha emission have counterparts in the IRAS Point Source Catalog. They show two types of infrared spectral behavior, either net decline of emergent flux density from 0.55 micron to at least 12 microns, approximately like normal K dwarfs without H-alpha emission, or net rise in this spectral range, as though with radiation from cool circumstellar matter. Behavior type is not well associated with H-alpha emission strength. Declining spectra are detectable with IRAS to about 30 pc, but rising spectra are not found in this volume so they must be less abundant. Stars with rising spectra may be associated with nebulosity, but one of them, TW Hya, is an exception to the later dependence.
