Spitzer IRS spectra (black lines) of the carbon-rich PPNe in the Magellanic Clouds. Each spectrum is normalized to 1.0 at the peak of the mid-infrared emission, and the spectra are offset vertically. The short-dashed lines on the left in each panel indicate the offset zero levels. Also plotted for each object are the available photometry points. They are in color in the online version: Spitzer IRAC (orange), Spitzer MIPS [24] (red circles), IRAS point source catalog (red squares), IRAS faint source catalog (red diamonds), 2MASS (green), DENIS (dark green), MSX (maroon), and MCPS (blue). The various data sets for a particular object have not been scaled relative to one another. The peak λ F λ values in units of 10 −14 W m −2 are listed to the right of the object name for the different objects. The IRS spectra of J050835, J05110, J052043, J052520, and J055825 have been smoothed over five points to reduce the noise.
