Scientific paper

The present search for carbon and M-type asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in the 39 clusters of the Magellanic Clouds has yielded identifications and near-IR photometry for about 400 such stars. The Searle et al. (1980) cluster-age-related classification scheme is a basic element of the present analysis of these data. In a C-M diagram, the cluster M stars shift steadily redward as one proceeds from clusters of SWB type I to VI, due to the increasing age of the clusters along the sequence. Luminous carbon stars are present only in SWB IV-VI clusters, and are easily distinguished from M stars by their color and luminosity.
