  Variable star - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
For regular variables, the period of variation and its amplitude can be very well established; for many variable stars, though, these quantities may vary slowly over time, or even from one period to the next.
This variation is thought to be caused by episodes of dust formation in the atmosphere of the star.
Stars with sizable sunspots may show significant variations in brightness as they rotate, and brighter areas of the surface are brought into view.

 Semiregular variable star - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Semiregular variable stars are giants or supergiants of intermediate and late spectral type showing considerable periodicity in their light changes, accompanied or sometimes interrupted by various irregularities.
Every star of this type may usually be assigned a certain mean period.
Amplitudes of light variation are in the range from 0.1 to 4 mag, and the range of periods is from 30 to 1100 days.

It is the 12th brightest star in the sky, a red supergiant, and is a vertex of the Winter Triangle.
Because it is the first star of Orion to rise, the title of "roarer" or "announcer" has been assigned to it by ancient writers.
Some regard the star's current variability as suggesting that it is already in the carbon burning phase of its life cycle, and will therefore go supernova at some time in the next thousand years or so.

The amplitudes may be from several hundredths to several (The property of relative size or extent) magnitudes (usually 1-2 magnitudes in the V filter).
Semiregular (A quantity that can assume any of a set of values) variables are classified in several subtypes:
SRA: Late spectral-type (M, C, S or Me, Ce, Se) giants displaying persistent periodicity and usually small amplitude, less than 2.5 (The property of relative size or extent) magnitudes in V. Z Aquarii is an example of this class.

 AAVSO: Variable Star of the Month, R Leo
With a change in brightness of several magnitudes and an average periodicity of 312 days, this star is categorized as belonging to the Mira-type class of long period variable stars.
Mira.) Such variables are found in the high luminosity portion of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) in the H-R diagram, along with the semiregular variable stars.
Mira stars tend to be of spectral type M, S, and C, and with lengthy periods of 80 to 1000 days, these stars (along with their semiregular relatives) are refered to as long period variables.

Many of these stars differ from Miravariables only by showing smaller light amplitudes.

 Multiwavelength Study of Mira Ceti-Type Variable Stars
The AGB red giants are subject to pulsational instability; most of them are variable stars, belonging to the Mira Ceti type or to the semiregulars, with timescales of brightness variations of a few hundreds of days.
We are interested with the effects, connected with AGB stars' variability; in particular, with the phenomena due to passage of shock waves in the atmospheres and envelopes of the stars (shock waves are formed during each cycles of stars' light variations).

CCD photometry of variable stars can be used for fainter stars, provides a documentation through the image file and allows for a degree of magnitude increase in precision.
Usually, the reduction step involves: visual identification of the variable star and of reference stars on the image by comparing it with a chart (such as an aavso chart), measurement of the flux of the variable and reference stars and estimation of the variable star magnitude.
The electronic chart is a file with descriptions of the variable star, the reference stars and guide stars which are used to identify the field.

 Variable star designation - All About All   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
Variable stars are named using a variation on the Bayer designation format of Identifier .
In previous centuries few variable stars were known, so it seemed reasonable to use the letters of the Roman alphabet, starting from the letter R so as to avoid confusion with letter spectral types.
Unfortunately the advent of photography made the number of variables pile up quickly and variable star names soon fell into the Bayer trap of reaching the end of the alphabet while still having stars to name.

OH emission from the semiregulars usually occurs at greater redshifts and blueshifts with respect to the stellar velocities than OH emission observed from the Miras.
It is suggested that some semiregular variables with maser emission may be in a later stage of stellar evolution than the Miras.
