Mira variables They have very regular light curves, with amplitude V > 2.5 m, and periods Π > 100 days. 5 Pulsations Most AGB stars are variable stars, due to the fact that they pulsate. The periods are long, from 10 to 1000s of days, and they are therefore called Long Period Variables, or LPVs. These long
