Spitzer observations of large amplitude variables in the LMC and IC 1613

Spitzer observations of large amplitude variables in the LMC and IC 1613

The 3.6 and 4.5 ìm characteristics of asymptotic giant branch variables in the LMC and IC 1613 are discussed. For C-rich Mira variables there is a very clear periodluminosity-colour relation, where the [3.6] . [4.5] colour is associated with the amount of circumstellar material and correlated with t...
