SRVs in the Solar Neighbourhood
I. S. Glass
Abstract
Period-luminosity sequences have been shown to exist among the Semi-Regular Variables (SRVs) of the Magellanic Clouds (Wood et al, 1999), the Bulge of the Milky Way galaxy (Glass & Schultheis, 2003) and elsewhere. It would clearly be useful to have absolute (trigonometric) calibrations of these relations. This paper investigates whether the sequences can be seen among the M-type giant SRVs of the solar neighbourhood. Mass loss phenomena among these stars and their dependence on period and spectral sub-type are also discussed.
