Abstract:
AbstractWe use astrometry to measure the distances to Galactic Mira variable stars. Our purpose is to determine a precise period–luminosity relation (PLR). At present, we do not have a precise PLR for Galactic Mira stars because of the large uncertainties affecting their distance estimates. To reduce the uncertainties, we adopted the Very Long Baseline Interferometry method and measured annual parallaxes of Mira variable stars with VERA. In addition to our previous results, we obtained three new distances for Mira variable stars. Based on our observations, the typical uncertainty in a given di

Abstract We present a collection of 65,981 Mira-type variable stars found in the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) project database. Two-thirds of our sample (40,356 objects) are located in the Galactic bulge fields, whereas 25,625 stars are in the Galactic disk. The vast majority of the collection (47,532 objects) comprises new discoveries. We provide basic observational parameters of the Mira variables: equatorial coordinates, pulsation periods, I-band and V-band mean magnitudes, I-band brightness amplitudes, and identifications in other catalogs of variable stars.

Abstract:
Since 1994, observations of a sample of about 20 Mira Ceti-type and semiregular variables have been carried out in three spectral ranges: radio (H2O maser line λ = 1.35 cm), optical (spectroscopy and UBV photometry) and infrared (JHKLM photometry). Time series of the Hα emission intensity and H2O line flux, covering several periods of the stars, have been obtained. Correlation of the intensity variations of the H2O maser with optical variability in the maser stars RR Aql, U Ori, VX Sgr and others was confirmed. One of the most interesting results is the flare of the H2O maser emission in R Leo

Abstract:
We have measured the excess IR emission from carbon mira and SR variable stars from IRAS LRS spectra. The 8-22μm excess is defined as the ratio of flux above a 2500K energy distribution fit to the LRS spectrum at about 8μm. The carbon star LRS spectra show both emission and absorption features, which are incorporated into our 8-22pm excess. The most prominent feature in carbon stars is the 11.2μm SiC dust emission feature extending from 10μm to 13.8 μm. We observe another emission feature of unknown origin which peaks between 8.4-8.7μm. The SiC emission feature is occasionally blended on the r

Abstract:
AbstractWhen a star with a mass of one to a few solar masses enters the red giant stage of its evolution, the radius of its atmosphere reaches several astronomical units. Pulsational instability is typical for this stage. Most stars become Mira-type or semiregular variables with light cycles of a few hundred days. Red giants lose mass at a rate M = 10−7−10−5M⊙ yr−1. Extensive gas–dust circumstellar envelopes form. These envelopes contain various molecular species. Some of these molecules (OH, H2O, SiO, HCN) manifest themselves in maser radio emission.

Abstract:
Feast et al. (1989) obtained observationally a period-luminosity (P-L) relation of Mira variables in LMC. Basically, fundamental periods of stellar pulsation should be determined by two quantities —a mass and a radius of the star. The existence of a P-L relation implies a special condition that reduces a function of two variables into a function of only a single variable. Though the AGB appears as a thin line in the HR diagram like the Cepheid instability strip, it is an “asymptotically” merged line of evolutionary tracks of stars in a range of about 0.5-3 solar masses.

The study of variable stars is extremely important to the astronomical field of scientific research. Variable stars must be methodically studied, usually by amateur astronomers over a long period of time, in order to provide professional astronomers important data that allows them to further analyze variable star behavior.Variable stars are unique because their pulsation produces visible changes in luminosity. This pulsation allows amateur astronomers to visually observe and identify variable stars. This type of research and study is special because amateurs can make a real contribution to the

Abstract:
Polarization is a powerful tool for understanding stellar atmospheres and circumstellar environments. Mira and semi-regular variable stars have been observed for decades and some are known to be polarimetrically variable, however, the semi-regular variable V Canes Venatici displays an unusually large, unexplained amount of polarization. We present ten years of optical polarization observations obtained with the HPOL instrument, supplemented by published observations spanning a total interval of about forty years for V CVn. We find that V CVn shows large polarization variations ranging from 1 -
