Photometric and kinematic properties of LPVs

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The table gives individual absolute K and IRAS 12 and 25 luminosities of 800 LPVs.

Description

They are obtained by applying the Luri-Mennessier (LM, see below) calibration method to a sample composed of stars which are either of type M (O-rich), C (C-rich) or S (C/O~1), including Mira (M), SR (of both type a and b) and L variables. Astrometric data is taken exclusively from the HIPPARCOS Catalogue.

Radial velocities are taken from the HIPPARCOS Input Catalogue. K band photometric data are gathered from various sources. Infrared magnitudes are derived from the fluxes measured by the IRAS satellite: m(12)=3.63-2.5log(F(12)) and m(25)=2.07-2.5log(F(25)) The stellar population from which the sample is extracted is assumed to be composed of several distinct groups that can differ in kinematics, luminosity or spatial distribution.

The LM method determines the number of significant discriminating groups and produces, for each group, unbiased estimates of the mean parameters of the galactic and luminosity model. In a second step the method uses a Bayesian rule to statistically assign each star to a group. Table gives these assignations denoted as G(G') i.e. to group G in K and G'in IRAS.

Three groups are identified in the K band. They can be interpreted as the galactic disk (D), old disk (OD) and extended disk (ED) populations. Four groups are identified in the IRAS bands.

They are similar to those identified in the K band except that the old disk group is divided into ``bright'' (ODb) and ``faint'' (ODf) subgroups. Let us add that D, ODb and ED correspond to thick circumstellar envelope stars, while ODf is mainly composed of stars with a thin (or even lacking) envelope.
