Red giants are sometimes surrounded by envelopes, the result of the ejection of stellar
matter at a large rate (̇M>10^-7M_⊙/yr) and at a low velocity (10 km/s). In this review the …

A multitude of phenomena—such as the chemical enrichment of the Universe, the mass
spectrum of planetary nebulae, white dwarfs and gravitational wave progenitors, the …

We present year-long, near-infrared Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFC3 observations
used to search for Mira variables in NGC 1559, the host galaxy of the Type Ia supernova (SN …

We present an up-to-date compilation of published Hubble constant (H 0) measurements
that are independent of the cosmic microwave background sound horizon scale. This …

Abstract Time-averaged J, H, K and m bol magnitudes are given for 29 O-rich and 20 C-rich
Mira variables in the Large Magellanic Cloud. PL and PC relations are derived. The PL …

The fourth part of the OGLE-III Catalog of Variable Stars presents 91 995 long-period
variables (LPVs) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). This sample consists of 79 200 …

Gaia DR3 parallaxes are used to calibrate preliminary period–luminosity relations of O-rich
Mira variables in the 2MASS J, H, and Ks bands using a probabilistic model accounting for …

The separation of oxygen-and carbon-rich asymptotic giant branch sources is crucial for
their accurate use as local and cosmological distance and age/metallicity indicators. We …

Infrared JHK photometry and visual spectra have been obtained for a large sample of long-
period variables (LPVs) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Various aspects of the …

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 …
