Scientific paper

We found that the OGLE database contains most AGB stars associated with the SMC cluster NGC 419. Combining these data with our near-infrared (NIR) data, we obtained the following results: 1) Almost all AGB stars above the TRGB are variables. 2) Large amplitude variables tend to show more regular light curves. 3) Only the tip AGB stars (in this case, carbon stars) increase their amplitudes with their J - K colors and only the most evolved ones can become large amplitude (Mira-like) variables 4) AGB variables may explain the sequences found by Wood et al. (1999)
