4 Introduction Red Supergiant stars (RSGs) are massive evolved, He-burning, extreme Population I stars with mass range roughly between 9-30 M. Relative cool effective temperatures about K (belonging to spectral type late-k M) Enormous radii which could up to 1500R High luminosities that about L Large mass loss rate (MLR): some RSGs stars could reach 10 6 to 10 4 M yr 1.
5 Introduction Red Supergiant stars (RSGs) are massive evolved, He-burning, extreme Population I stars with mass range roughly between 9-30 M. Relative cool effective temperatures about K (belonging to spectral type late-k M) Enormous radii which could up to 1500R High luminosities that about L Large mass loss rate (MLR): Some RSGs stars could reach 10 6 to 10 4 M yr 1.
6 RSGs have long been known for their hundreds days of semi-regular photometric variation (belong to SRc in General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS) ) It may due to the radial pulsation at fundamental, first or even possibly second overtone mode The inexplicable long term scale variability which could up to 4000 days or more so called Long Secondary Period (LSP) The source of LSP still not quite sure.
7 The irregular photometric variation (belong to Lc in GCVS) It may caused by the large convective cells in the surface of the star and some recent simulation works have proofed it
8 The period-luminosity (P-L) relation Cepheid P-L relation There still does need a variety of independent methods which could be used to verified. RSGs P-L relation
