Description:
A sample of distant (2-10kpc), heavily obscured asymptotic giant
branch (AGB) stars were observed for CO emission. Simultaneous
observations at the frequencies of the J=1-0 (115.27GHz) and J=2-1
(230.58GHz) transitions of CO were made at the 30m IRAM telescope on
Pico Velata, Spain, in September 1989.
