Scientific paper
From our study of AGB stars in globular clusters we present here three results: (1) Period-luminosity relations derived for the long-period variables in four clusters show a similar splitting into two sequences but also differ in the maximum luminosity reached. (2) C/O ratios measured in O-rich AGB stars in NGC 1846 prove the increase of C/O with luminosity, but also reveal exceptions to the general trend. (3) AGB stars in 47 Tuc reveal a remarkable change of mid-infrared dust features as the stars evolve up the AGB.
