Sample statistics of the full ∼180 star DEATHSTAR sample. M-type stars are blue, C-type stars are red, and S-type stars are green. Filled symbols mark the stars included in this paper. Upper left: galactic distribution of the full sample. Upper middle: distance, D, distribution. These are preliminary distances from previous publications (see text and Table 1). The solid lines show the expected distributions for each spectral type with Poisson errors (Jura 1990; Jura & Kleinmann 1992; Jura et al. 1993). Upper right: wind properties (mass-loss rate, Ṁ, and terminal expansion velocity, v_∞) from previous publications. See text for references. Lower left: Ṁ/v_∞ distribution for the full sample. We note that Ṁ/v_∞ is a proxy for the wind density. Lower middle: Ṁ/v_∞ as a function of the pulsational period. Lower left: ¹²CO/¹³CO ratio for the sample sources (Ramstedt & Olofsson 2014) is plotted against the pulsational period. Both parameters are expected to increase as the stars evolve.
