This article presents the study of the light curves extracted from the MACHO database of a sample of stars observed by the Infrared Space Observatory in the Small Magellanic Cloud. These stars belong to the ISO Mini-Survey catalogue of the Magellanic Clouds (ISO MCMS, Loup et al., in preparation). Most of them are in the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) and supergiant phases. The dominant period and amplitude of pulsation have been derived and the stars have been classified as Mira or Semi Regular pulsators.
We present mid-infrared Infrared Space Observatory Short-Wavelength Spectrometer (ISO-SWS) observations of the fine-structure emissions lines [Ne II] 12.8{mu}m, [Ne III] 15.6{mu}m, [Ne III] 36.0{mu}m, [Ar II] 6.99{mu}m, [Ar III] 8.99{mu}m, [S III] 18.7{mu}m, [S III] 33.5{mu}m, and [S IV] 10.5{mu}m and the recombination lines Br{alpha} and Br{beta} n a sample of 112 Galactic H II regions and 37 nearby extra-Galactic H II regions in the LMC, SMC, and M33.
