The Properties of Long-Period Variables in the Large Magellanic Cloud from MACHO

Oliver J. Fraser, Suzanne L. Hawley, Kem H. Cook

We present a new analysis of the long-period variables in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) from the MACHO Variable Star Catalog. Three-quarters of our sample of evolved, variable s…
