Detecting Long Period Variables in M 33 Using UKIRT-WFCAM Images

Saberi, Maryam; Javadi, Atefeh; van Loon, Jacco Th; Khosroshahi, Habib

Abstract

We have used the UK InfraRed Telescope (UKIRT) to conduct a near-IR
monitoring campaign to search for variable stars in the Local Group spiral galaxy M 33. Most of the 4643 detected variables appear to be Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars.
