Harmonic phase diagnostics of long secondary periods. Testing predictions of oscillatory convective dipole modes in the OGLE sample

Benjamin Courtney-Barrer, Xavier Haubois, Michael Ireland +1

Long secondary periods (LSPs) in luminous red giants remain the only major class of long-period stellar variability without a secure physical origin. Competing hypotheses include b…
