Corrected and improved coordinates for galactic carbon stars. I. The Westerlund stars.

MacCONNELL D.J. and OSBORN W.H.

Abstract (from CDS):

Accurate J2000 positions have been determined for the carbon stars discovered by Westerlund in his 1971 survey of the southern Milky Way. Cross-identifications with USNO B-1.0 and IRAS objects have been made. A number of errors in the listings of these objects in the General Catalog of Galactic Carbon Stars and in the SIMBAD database were detected and corrected.
