Scientific paper

Dynamical atmospheric modeling studies of Mira-type long-period variables are described. The methods of Bowen (1988) are employed, and the results are presented in a series of graphs and discussed in detail, with particular emphasis on the implications for mass loss and evolution of these stars. It is shown that the observed narrow mass distribution of stars leaving the asymptotic giant branch can be explained by a rapid increase in mass-loss rate with increasing stellar radius and pulsation period, or with decreasing mass.
