چکیده
A general review is given of Mira and some other cool variables stars, concentrating on those aspects on which GAIA, and more particularly GAIA spectroscopy and radial velocities, will have a major impact.

Peripheral Facial Palsy in Emergency Department
Introduction: Peripheral facial palsy (PFP) is commonly diagnosed in every emergency department. Despite being a benign condition in most cases, PFP causes loss in quality of life mostly due to facial dysmorphia. The etiology of PFP remains unknown in most cases, while medical opinion on epidemiology, risk factors and optimal treatment is not consensual. The aim of this study was to review the ...
متن کاملReprocessing the Hipparcos data of evolved stars
We analyze the K band luminosities of a sample of galactic long-period variables using parallaxes measured by the Hipparcos mission. The parallaxes are in most cases re-computed from the Hipparcos Intermediate Astrometric Data using improved astrometric fits and chromaticity corrections. The K band magnitudes are taken from the literature and from measurements by COBE, and are corrected for int...
متن کاملAGB Variables and the Mira Period-Luminosity Relation
Published data for large amplitude asymptotic giant branch variables in the Large Magellanic Cloud are re-analysed to establish the constants for an infrared (K) periodluminosity relation of the form: MK = ρ[logP − 2.38]+ δ. A slope of ρ = −3.51± 0.20 and a zero point of δ = −7.15 ± 0.06 are found for oxygen-rich Miras (if a distance modulus of 18.39 ± 0.05 is used for the LMC). Assuming this s...
متن کاملCan Mira Variables Tell Us the Chemical Abundances in Stellar Systems?
A period-metallicity relation for oxygen-rich Miras derived from globular clusters is applied to similar variables in the galactic Bulge. The metallicity distribution in the Bulge thus obtained is in good agreement with that derived from K giants. This suggests that the periods of Miras are useful indicators of metallicity distributions, at least in old systems such as galactic bulges. For syst...
متن کاملPeriod-luminosity and period-luminosity-colour relations for Mira variables at maximum light
In this paper we discuss the evidence for a period-luminosity (PL) relation and periodluminosity-colour (PLC) at maximum light for Mira variables. We confirm the existence of such relations in the J, H and K bands, and also based on bolometric magnitudes, for oxygen-rich (O) and carbon-rich (C) Miras in the LMC. We demonstrate that in the J and H bands the maximum light PL relations have a sign...
