Extract
The IRAS catalogues have been searched for cool (G,K,M) giant and supergiant stars to investigate the occurrence of circumstellar (C/S)silicate dust, revealed by its emission features at 9.7 and 18μm. Low Resolution Spectrograph (LRS) spectra covering the 7-23μm range were used, plus the 60 and 100μm photometric points. M Supergiants were found in White Wing (1978), other stars by correlating the Bright Star Catalogue with the LRS catalogue: this discriminated against very cool stars reddened by dust; however i t can be seen in Table I that there is a clear trend for cooler and more luminous stars to have a dust shell. M Supergiants almost all have dust shells, whilst only the cooler M bright-giants and giants do. Of the G and K stars, only a very few of the Supergiants have dust shells. The sili cate features fell into two categories:
