Periodic and nonperiodic phenomena in AGB stars

arXiv:astro-ph/0202476

Abstract

We discuss velocity variations in different layers of an AGB star's atmosphere. Periodic and nonperiodic changes are observed. From a large sample of data we derive mean velocity curves for miras and semiregular variables.
