Angular Size Measurements of Mira Variable Stars at 2.2 Microns. II.
@article{Belle2002AngularSM, title={Angular Size Measurements of Mira Variable Stars at 2.2 Microns. II.}, author={Gerard T. van Belle and R. R. Thompson and Michelle J. Creech-Eakman}, journal={The Astronomical Journal}, year={2002}, volume={124}, pages={1706-1715} }
We present angular size measurements of 22 oxygen-rich Mira variable stars. These data are part of a long-term observational program using the Infrared Optical Telescope Array to characterize the observable behavior of these stars. Complementing the infrared angular size measurements, values for variable star phase, spectral type, bolometric flux, and distance were established for stars in the sample; flux and distance led to values for effective temperature (Teff) and linear radius…
