Description
We present the results of a three-year campaign of broad-band photometry
in the near-infrared J, H, K and L' bands for a sample of approximately
250 giant stars carried out at the Observatorio del Teide (Tenerife,
Spain). Transformations of the Telescopio Carlos Sanchez system
into/from several currently used infrared systems are extended to the
redward part of the colour axis. The linearity of our photometric system
in the range -3 mag [Fe/H] >-3. Data of comparable quality previously
published have been added to the sample in order to increase the
reliability of the relations to be obtained. We also provide mean IR
colours for giant stars according to spectral type.
