Period-magnitude relations for M giants in Baade's Window NGC6522
Abstract
A large and complete sample of stars with K < 9.75 in the NGC6522 Baade's Window is examined using light curves from MACHO and IJK from DENIS. All 4 of the sequences ABCD in the K vs logP diagram of the LMC are seen in the Bulge. The Bulge sequences however show some differences from the Magellanic Clouds. The sequences may be useful as distance indicators. A new diagram of the frequency of late-type variables is presented. The catalogued SR variables of the solar nbd are found to be a subset of the total of SRs, biased towards large amplitude.
