Figure 11: Linear radii deduced from the present interferometric measurements vs. pulsation periods. Continuous and dotted lines are expectations for respectively fundamental mode and first overtone pulsators from Wood (1989). Comparison of this figure with a similar figure in Feast (1996) dramatically illustrates the impact of the revised interpretation of Mira brightness distributions. |
