cds-question@unistra.frgalaxiescarbon-starsinfrared-photometryWe identify the rich carbon star population of the Magellanic-type dwarf irregular galaxy WLM (Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte) and study its photometric properties from deep near-IR observations. The galaxy also exhibits a clear presence of oxygen-rich population. We derive a carbon to M-star ratio of C/M=0.56+/-0.12, relatively high in comparison with many galaxies. The spatial distribution of the AGB stars in WLM hints at the presence of two stellar complexes with a size of a few hundred parsecs. Using the HI map of WLM and the derived gas-to-dust ratio for this galaxy N(HI)/E(B-V)=60+/-10[10^21^at/cm^2^/mag] we re-determined the distance modulus of WLM from the IR photometry of four known Cepheids, obtaining (m-M)0=24.84+/-0.14mag. In addition, we determine the scale length of 0.75+/-0.14kpc of WLM disk in the J-band.2007A&A...466..501Vhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/466/501CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/A+AS/113/539 : A survey of carbon stars in the SMC (Morgan+, 1995)J/A+AS/122/463 : Carbon stars in Magellanic Clouds (Kunkel+ 1997)J/A+AS/122/507 : Kinematics of SMC carbon stars (Hatzidimitriou+ 1997)J/AJ/125/1298 : C star population in outer disk of M31 (Battinelli+, 2003)J/MNRAS/376/313 : Carbon star in Magellanic Cloud (Groenewegen+, 2007)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/466/501https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/466/501http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/466/501https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/466/501https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/466/501http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/466/501GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/A+A/466/501/table1 (Photometry of 555 WLM stars with J- and Ks-band photometry)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/466/501/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/466/501/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/466/501/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true0.4400833-15.50183330.0055555555555555566/17165https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/A+A/466/501?format=asciiInfrareddefaultJ/A+A/466/501/table1Photometry of 555 WLM stars with J- and Ks-band photometryrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
