Red variables in the OGLE II data base - II. Comparison of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds
Red variables in the OGLE II data base - II. Comparison of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds
We present period-luminosity relations for more than 3,200 red variable stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud observed in the second phase of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE-II). Periods of multiply-periodic light curve solutions combined with the single-epoch 2MASS JHK_S magnitudes, reveal very similar distributions to those for the Large …
