Abstract
ABSTRACT A sample of warm, low-level semiregular variables chosen from the General Catalogue of Variable Stars is studied for their chemical compositions by analysing high-resolution optical spectra. The abundance ratios from Na/Fe to Eu/Fe displayed by these and previously analysed semiregular variables are quite similar to ratios displayed by normal red giants across the Galactic thin and thick discs and halo populations in the solar neighbourhood, suggesting from this perspective that the variables may be among the more photometrically active red giants.
