Abstract

We have (1) accumulated long-term (up to 15 years) photoelectric photometry of 76 bright pulsating red giants (PRGs) and related stars, with V amplitudes of 0.04 to ≥ 1 magnitude; (2) used a variety of techniques, including autocorrelation, to determine both “short” radial pulsation periods, and long secondary periods; (3) determined pulsation modes using the Q-value method; the modes range from fundamental to second overtone, independent of temperature; (4) tested wavelet analysis on small-amplitude PRGs; (5) made a special study of PRGs with amplitudes less than 0.1 magnitude; and (6) called further attention to the problem of the long secondary periods of these stars. Our studies provide a “model” for the analysis and interpretation of larger, fainter surveys such as MACHO and OGLE.
