Light and colour variations of Mira variables in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Yoshifusa Ita, John W. Menzies, Patricia A. Whitelock +6
The goal of this paper is to characterise the light variation properties of Mira variables in the Small Magellanic Cloud. We have investigated a combined optical and near infrared…
Luminous AGB variables in the dwarf Irregular Galaxy, NGC 3109
J. W. Menzies, P. A. Whitelock, M. W. Feast +1
In a shallow near-infrared survey of the dwarf Irregular galaxy, NGC 3109, near the periphery of the Local Group, we have found eight Mira variables, seven of which appear to be ox…
R Coronae Borealis: Radial-velocity and other observations, 1950-2007
M. W. Feast, R. F. Griffin, G. H. Herbig +1
Radial-velocity observations made on more than a thousand nights are presented for the type star of the R Coronae Borealis (RCB) class. There are four principal sources: the Lick O…
A near infrared variable star survey in the Magellanic Clouds: The Small Magellanic Cloud data
Yoshifusa Ita, Noriyuki Matsunaga, Toshihiko Tanabe +12
A very long term near-infrared variable star survey towards the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds was carried out using the 1.4m InfraRed Survey Facility at the South African Astro…
A Remarkable Oxygen-rich Asymptotic Giant Branch Variable in the Sagittarius Dwarf Irregular Galaxy
Patricia A. Whitelock, John W. Menzies, Michael W. Feast +1
We report and discuss JHKs photometry for Sgr dIG, a very metal-deficient galaxy in the Local Group, obtained over 3.5 years with the Infrared Survey Facility in South Africa. Thre…
Discovery of carbon-rich Miras in the Galactic bulge
Noriyuki Matsunaga, John W. Menzies, Michael W. Feast +4
Only one carbon-rich (C-rich, hereinafter) Mira variable has so far been suggested as a member of the Galactic bulge and this is in a symbiotic system. Here we describe a method fo…
