Chemical compositions of semi-regular variable red giants

Abstract

A sample of warm low level semi-regular variables chosen from the General Catalogue of Variable Stars is studied for their chemical compositions by analysing high resolution optical spectra. The abundance ratios from Na/Fe to Eu/Fe displayed by these and previously analysed semi-regular variables are quite similar to ratios displayed by normal red giants across the Galactic thin and thick disks and halo populations in the solar neighbourhood suggesting from this perspective that the variables may be among the more photometrically active red giants.
