Galaxies: Local Group, Distances Stars: Variables: Mira

Scientific paper

A survey has been conducted of Local Group galaxies with the Japanese/South African Infrared Survey Facility at SAAO, Sutherland. A number of Mira variables have been discovered in four dwarf spheroidals, which provides an opportunity to test the usefulness of these stars as distance indicators in galaxies beyond the Magellanic Clouds. These Miras are found to follow the same period-luminosity relation as in the LMC, provided bolometric magnitudes are used.
