Image Details
Caption: Figure 10.
Sky positions of the LMC carbon-rich PPN candidates are shown superimposed on an image (8
23 × 8
76) of the LMC in the
Spitzer [3.6] filter. The image is oriented so the LMC bar runs from left to right. The blue dots show the positions of the 21 μm
objects (IRAS F06111−7023 is located off the image to the left), the two green stars mark the position of J051228 and J055825
which have no 21 μm feature, and the two cyan squares mark the positions of the strong SiC feature objects J053632 and J055311.
The image is centered at α = 05
h18
m48
080, δ = −68°42′01
