Abstract:
By cross-correlating the results of two recent large-scale surveys,
the general properties of a well-defined sample of semiregular
variable stars have been determined. ISOGAL mid-infrared photometry
(7 and 15µm and MACHO V and R light curves are assembled for
approximately 300 stars in the Baade's windows of low extinction
toward the Galactic bulge. These stars are mainly giants of late M
spectral type, evolving along the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). They
are found to possess a wide and continuous distribution of pulsation
periods and to obey an approximate logP-Mbol relation or set of
such relations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (1): Designation is of the form: ISOGALP Jhhmmss.s-ddmmss (J2000)
where P signifies `provisional'.
Note (2): Refers to the field, tile, and the sequence number
(see Alcock et al., 1999PASP..111.1539A 1999PASP..111.1539A).
Note (3): The MACHO light curves show saturation effects. No estimates
for Amp and LogP are given.
Note (4): BMB denotes Blanco McCarthy Blanco (1984AJ.....89..636B 1984AJ.....89..636B),
B denotes Blanco (1986AJ.....91..290B 1986AJ.....91..290B), and the following number is
the M giant spectral sub-type. Those marked with ``Mira'' are also
listed in Table 1. In some cases we note a second or ``double'' period
using the notation: dp(Amp,LogP).

59- 64 A6 --- Com Comments (2)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (1): "missing" stars probably appeared constant or nonstellar in
the MACHO data as a result of saturation and were rejected before the
matching stage.
Note (2): Mis-id: An apparent MACHO counterpart was mistakenly found
during the cross-identification process; the image of the correct
star was probably saturated.
