Scientific paper

Infrared photometric observations of two suspected supergiant carbon stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) show that these stars have mean luminosities no greater than those of known C stars in the Clouds and hence are not candidates for the "missing" bright C stars. Some suspected supergiant counterparts to oxygen rich Mira-type variables are also shown to be quite distinct from supergiants and are more likely luminous asymptotic giant branch stars.
