Abstract:
This study focuses on very luminous (Mbol←6.0mag) AGB stars with
J-Ks>1.5mag and H-Ks>0.4mag in the LMC, SMC, M 31, and M 33 from 2MASS
data.
Description:
The data were taken from the 2MASS All-Sky Point Source catalogue
archive. We used Virtual Observatory tools and took advantage of its
capabilities at various stages in the analysis.
