탄소성(炭素星)(N성(星))의 유효온도

The Effective Temperature of the N Stars

Photoelectric observations were made of four N stars (HD 51208, HD 75021, V 1942 Sgr, and RU Vir) at careful1y chosen discrete wavelengths between $7000{\AA}\;and\;11000{\AA}$ with $30{\AA}$ bandpass width. Their effective temperatures have been derived by fitting the black-body radiation curve to the observed continuum intensities at $7800{\AA},\;9000{\AA}\;and\;10800{\AA}$. The resulting temperature ranges from $2500^{\circ}K\;to\;2900^{\circ}K.$. It is probable that almost all the N stars belong to this range of temperature. However, the temperatures of very red N stars can not be well determined due to large variability and redistribution of their radiation energy arising from the graphite shells around them.
