Description:
The following tables present near-infrared photometry and millimeter
observations of a sample of optical M supergiants, together with
estimations of their luminosity and dust mass-loss rate. Near-infrared
observations were done in February 1995 with the ESO T2.2m-IRAC1 and
T3.6m-TIMMI instruments, millimeter observations were made in December
1994 with the IRAM-30m-telescope and in February 1995 with the SEST.
For a description of the (N1-N3) and (JHKL) photometric system, see e.g.
GCPD/39 and GCPD/09, respectively.
