Difference between Long-period variable star and Mira variable

Long-period variable star vs. Mira variable

The descriptive term long-period variable star refers to various groups of cool luminous pulsating variable stars. Mira variables ("Mira", Latin, adj. - feminine form of adjective "wonderful"), named for the prototype star Mira, are a class of pulsating variable stars characterized by very red colours, pulsation periods longer than 100 days, and amplitudes greater than one magnitude in infrared and 2.5 magnitude at visual wavelengths.

Similarities between Long-period variable star and Mira variable

Long-period variable star and Mira variable have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Asymptotic giant branch, Semiregular variable star, Variable star.

Asymptotic giant branch

The asymptotic giant branch (AGB) is a region of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram populated by evolved cool luminous stars.
