Modelling Long-Period Variables -- II. Fundamental mode pulsation in the nonlinear regime
Michele Trabucchi, Peter R. Wood, Nami Mowlavi +4
Long-period variability in luminous red giants has several promising applications, all of which require models able to accurately predict pulsation periods. Linear pulsation models…
Modelling Long-Period Variables - I. A new grid of O-rich and C-rich pulsation models
Michele Trabucchi, Peter R. Wood, Josefina Montalbán +3
We present a new grid of non-adiabatic, linear pulsation models of Long-Period Variables (LPVs), including periods and growth rates for radial modes from the fundamental to the fou…
A plethora of new R Coronae Borealis stars discovered from a dedicated spectroscopic follow-up survey
P. Tisserand, G. C. Clayton, M. S. Bessell +7
It is increasingly suspected that the rare R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars - hydrogen-deficient and carbon-rich supergiant stars - are the products of mergers of CO/He white-dwarf b…
The Mira-based distance to the Galactic centre
Wenzer Qin, David M. Nataf, Nadia Zakamska +2
Mira variables are useful distance indicators, due to their high luminosities and well-defined period-luminosity relation. We select 1863 Miras from SAAO and MACHO observations to…
Discovery of a Metal-poor, Luminous Post-AGB Star that Failed the Third Dredge-up
D. Kamath, H. Van Winckel, P. R. Wood +4
Post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) stars are known to be chemically diverse. In this paper we present the first observational evidence of a star that has failed the third dred…
A new interpretation of the period-luminosity sequences of long-period variables
Michele Trabucchi, Peter R. Wood, Josefina Montalbán +3
Period-luminosity (PL) sequences of long period variables (LPVs) are commonly interpreted as different pulsation modes, but there is disagreement on the modal assignment. Here, we…
