Description:
    A sample of distant (2-10kpc), heavily obscured asymptotic giant
    branch (AGB) stars were observed for CO emission. Simultaneous
    observations at the frequencies of the J=1-0 (115.27GHz) and J=2-1
    (230.58GHz) transitions of CO were made at the 30m IRAM telescope on
    Pico Velata, Spain, in September 1989.
