Comparison of the G-band amplitude (QR₅(G)) of Gaia DR3 LPV candidates and the V-band amplitude ΔV of their best-match ASAS-SN sources. Left panel: direct comparison, limited to sources that are classified as LPVs in ASAS-SN. Data points are colour-coded according to the absolute value of their Galactic latitude, and the green density contour lines show the location of ASAS-SN sources that are classified as miras. Right panel: distribution in Galactic coordinates of the same sample, but limited to QR₅(G) > 1 mag (i.e. sources with a large enough Gaia amplitude to be considered mira candidates), colour-coded by the value of the ASAS-SN amplitude. We note that random artificial errors −0.01 ≤ ε ≤ 0.01 have been added to the ASAS-SN amplitudes in the left panel to smooth out artefacts (evident in logarithmic scale) caused by the limited precision with which these values are provided.
