Abstract:
The fourth part of the OGLE-III Catalog of Variable Stars presents 91
995 long-period variables (LPVs) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).
This sample consists of 79200 OGLE Small Amplitude Red Giants
(OSARGs), 11128 semiregular variables (SRVs) and 1667 Mira stars. The
catalog data include basic photometric and astrometric properties of
these stars, long-term multi-epoch VI photometry and finding charts.
Description:
We describe the methods used for the identification and classification
of LPVs. The distribution of I-band amplitudes for carbon-rich stars
shows two maxima, corresponding to Miras and SRVs. Such a distinction
between Miras and SRVs is not obvious for oxygen-rich stars. We notice
additional period-luminosity sequence located between Wood's sequences
C and C' and populated by SRVs.
