Scientific paper
Power spectra of the light curves of semiregular variables, based on visual
magnitude estimates spanning many decades, show clear evidence for stochastic
excitation. This supports the suggestion by Christensen-Dalsgaard et al. (2001)
that oscillations in these stars are solar-like, i.e., stochastically excited
by convection, with mode lifetimes ranging from years to decades.
