VLBI Astrometry of AGB Variables with VERA -- A Semiregular Variable S Crateris --

Akiharu Nakagawa, Miyuki Tsushima, Kazuma Ando +40

We present a distance measurement for the semiregular variable S Crateris (S Crt) based on its annual parallax. With the unique dual beam system of the VLBI Exploration for Radio A…
