We present a new catalog of 11,209 O-rich AGB stars and 7172 C-rich AGB stars
in our Galaxy identifying more AGB stars in the bulge component and considering
more visual carbon stars. For each object, we cross-identify the IRAS, AKARI,
MSX, WISE, 2MASS, and AAVSO counterparts. We present the new catalog in two
parts: one is based on the IRAS PSC for brighter or more isolated objects; the
other one is based on the ALLWISE source catalog for less bright objects or
objects in crowded regions. We present various infrared two-color diagrams
(2CDs) for the sample stars. We find that the theoretical dust shell models can
roughly explain the observations of AGB stars on the various IR 2CDs. We
investigate IR properties of SiO and OH maser emission sources in the catalog.
For Mira variables in the sample stars, we find that the IR colors get redder
for longer pulsation periods. We also study infrared variability of the sample
stars using the WISE photometric data in the last 12 yr: the ALLWISE multiepoch
data and the Near-Earth Object WISE Reactivation (NEOWISE-R) 2021 data release.
We generate light curves using the WISE data at W1 and W2 bands and compute the
Lomb-Scargle periodograms for all of the sample stars. From the WISE light
curves, we have found useful variation parameters for 3710 objects in the
catalog, for which periods were either known or unknown in previous works.
