VizieR Online Data Catalog: Characterization of LMC M-stars in the JWST era (Marini+, 2020)

In this paper we use the LMC sample of 71 O-rich AGB spectra, observed using Spitzer IRS (Jones et al. 2012MNRAS.427.3209J, Cat. J/MNRAS/427/3209) and classified according to the decision-tree scheme proposed by Woods et al. (2011MNRAS.411.1597W, Cat. J/MNRAS/411/1597). The sample includes point sources from the SAGE-Spec legacy survey of the LMC (Kemper et al. 2010PASP..122..683K, Cat. J/PASP/122/683), a spectroscopic follow-up to the SAGE-LMC project (Meixner et al. 2006AJ....132.2268M, Cat. J/AJ/132/2268) and has been supplemented from archival Spitzer IRS observation within the SAGE-LMC footprint (Woods et al. 2011MNRAS.411.1597W, Cat. J/MNRAS/411/1597). The detailed description of the original target selection, the observing strategy, and the techniques used in the data reduction for the SAGE-Spec legacy programme are discussed in Kemper et al. (Kemper et al. 2010PASP..122..683K, Cat. J/PASP/122/683).

The list of the stars analysed in this work is reported in Table 2. When available, in column 3 we report the primary periods obtained by the OGLE collaboration (Soszynski et al. 2009AcA....59..239S, Cat. J/AcA/59/239), that phases well the temporal sequence of observations.
