The I-band light curves of these stars show outbursts in 24% of the sample (Type-1 stars), high and low states in 10%, periodic variations in 6% (Type-3 stars), and stochastic variations in 60% of the cases. We report on the result of the statistical study of light curves of Type-1 and Type-3 stars in the LMC, and the comparison with the previously reported results of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) sample.

Note (2): Abbreviations are: "ART" means after removing trend; "VA" means variable amplitude; "DPV" means double periodic variable; "MA" means multiple aliases; "doubtful" means that star could be a Type-1 or Type-3 star. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- History: From electronic version of the journal
