| Description |
English: IRAS SSC08546+1732, a faint heavily dust-enshrouded carbon star at high galactic latitude in the IRAS Serendipitous Survey Catalog (see Cutri et al. 1989, AJ, 97, 866). The star has no optical counterpart on the Digitized Sky Survey. The latitude and faintness of this star imply that it is in the Galactic halo, and either evolved from a Pop I precursor ejected from the Galactic disk or is a obscured halo carbon star of Pop II. |
