Catalog Service: Secular evolution in Mira variable pulsations
Description
In this paper we present the results of our study of period change in 547 Mira variables using data from the AAVSO (American Association of Variable Star Observers). We use wavelet analysis to measure the period changes in individual Mira stars over the span of available data. By making linear fits to the period versus time measurements, we determine the average rates of period change, d(lnP)/dt, for each of these stars.

This is service that does not comply with any IVOA standard but instead provides access to special capabilities specific to this resource.
This is a standard IVOA service that takes as input an ADQL or PQL query and returns tabular data.
This is a standard IVOA service that takes as input a position in the sky and a radius and returns catalog records with positions within that radius.
