Abstract

AbstractWe cross-correlated the OGLE-II database with the SIRIUS JHK survey data in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). After eliminating obvious spurious variables, we determined the pulsation periods for 9 681 stars by applying the Phase Dispersion Minimization (PDM) technique to the OGLE-II data. Based on these data, we studied the period-K magnitude (PK) relations of variable stars in the LMC and found a new sequence. Comparison between the theoretical pulsation model (Wood & Sebo 1996) and observational data suggests that the variable stars on the new sequence are Mira variables pulsating in the first overtone mode.
