Abstract:
From previous samples of red supergiants (RSGs) by various groups, 191
objects are assembled to compose a large sample of RSG candidates in
LMC. For 189 of them, the identity as an RSG is verified by their
brightness and color indexes in several near- and mid-infrared bands
related to the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) JHKs bands and the
Spitzer/IRAC and Spitzer/MIPS bands. From the visual time-series
photometric observations by the ASAS and MACHO projects which cover
nearly 8-10 years, the period and amplitude of light variation are
analyzed carefully using both the phase dispersion minimization and
Period04 (Lenz, 2004CoAst.144...41L 2004CoAst.144...41L) methods.
