The M33 Synoptic Stellar Survey. II. Mira Variables Academic Article

abstract

• 2017. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved.. We present the discovery of 1847 Mira candidates in the Local Group galaxy M33 using a novel semi-parametric periodogram technique coupled with a random forest classifier. The algorithms were applied to 2.4 105 I-band light curves previously obtained by the M33 Synoptic Stellar Survey. We derive preliminary period-luminosity relations at optical, near-infrared, and mid-infrared wavelengths and compare them to the corresponding relations in the Large Magellanic Cloud.
