Introduction Short-period Miras as tracers of the Galactic Structure 2. OAOWFC Instrument overview Expected performance Current status 3. Summary Short-period Mira variables Ideal probe to investigate the Galactic structure Short Period (P < 300 d) 1. Old population 5 to 10 Gyr Distribution reflects mass distribution 2. Distance measurement Period Luminosity Relation at K-band 3. Bright & Brightest in the NIR L solar G.C., 20kpc for p=180 days K Period-Luminosity relation at K-bandK O rich Mira C rich Mira log P Dispersion = +/ mag. ( Feast et al. 1989)

2 Short-period Mira survey has never been made. Why? Astronomical point of view Interests has been focused on violent mass-loss phenomena. OH/IR stars, long period (P>300) Mira variables Technical point of view A lack of large-format NIR array 62 x 58 InSb (1986), 256 x 256 HgCdTe (1989), 1K x 1K HgCdTe (1994) This work Make a wide-field camera F.o.v. 1 sq.deg.
