Red Variables of Spectral Class M

The following topics are covered. (1) The temperature and evolutionary sequence amongst the low mass red variables. (2) Period as a population indicator for Mira variables. (3) The absolute magnitudes, temperatures and pulsational characteristics of Mira variables. (4) A period-luminosity relation for supergiant red variables in the Magellanic Clouds.
