Scientific paper

Model photospheres were constructed from Mira variables using parameters derived from pulsational modeling and measured CO velocity profiles. The models were found to match most of the observed properties of the shorter period (300-400 day) Mira variables reasonably well. They predict the wavelength and phase dependence of the diameter, and produce IR spectra which are very similar to the observed spectra. However, the TiO and VO bands of these models are stronger than the observed bands, and the density in the model photospheres needs to be reduced to obtain better agreement.
