Abstract

Lick image tube spectrophotometry is presented of suspected degenerate M (DM) stars and of the faintest of the suspected Hyades red subluminous (RSL) star suspects. All appear to be dwarf M's or subdwarfs. It is believed that these results, taken together with recent work by Greenstein and with Naval Observatory parallaxes, leave no remaining degenerate M or strong Hyades RSL candidates.
