Diameters of Mira Stars Measured Simultaneously in theJ,H, andK′ Near‐Infrared Bands

Year: 2005

Type: article

Abstract: We present the first spatially resolved observations of a sample of 23 Mira stars simultaneously measured in the near-infrared J , H , and K ' bands. The technique used was optical long-baseline interferometry, and we present for each star visibility amplitude measurements as a function of wavelength. We also present characteristic sizes at each spectral band, obtained by fitting the measured visibilities to a simple uniform disk model. This approach reveals the general relation J diameter < H diameter < K ' diameter.
