Based on a search for multi-periodic variability among the semi-regular red variable stars in the database of the All Sky Automated Survey (ASAS), a sample of 72 typical examples is presented. Their period analysis was performed using Discrete Fourier Transform. In 41 stars we identified two significant periods each, simultaneously present, while the remaining 31 cases revealed even three such periods per star. They occur in a range roughly between 50 and 3000 days. Inter-relationships between these periods were analyzed using the double period diagram which compares adjacent periods, and the so-called Petersen diagram, the period ratio vs. the shorter period. In both diagrams we could identify six sequences of accumulation of the period values. For five of these sequences (containing 97% of all data points) we found an almost perfect coincidence with those of previous studies which were based on very different samples of semi-regular red variables. Therefore, existence and locations of these sequences in the diagrams seem to be universal features, which appear in any data set of semi-regularly variable red giants of the AGB; we conclude that they are caused by different pulsation modes as the typical and consistent properties of similar stellar AGB configurations. Stellar pulsations can be considered as the principal cause of the observed periodic variability of these stars, and not binary, rotation of a spotted surface or other possible reasons suggested in the literature.

We report the discovery of 3 new Double Periodic Variables based on the analysis of ASAS-SN light curves: GSD J11630570-510306, V593 Sco and TYC 6939-678-1. These systems have orbital periods between 10 and 20 days and long cycles between 300 and 600 days.
The All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) provides long baseline (${sim}4$ yrs) $V-$band light curves for sources brighter than V$lesssim17$ mag across the whole sky. We produced V-band light curves for a total of ${sim}61.5$ million sour ces and systematically searched these sources for variability. We identified ${sim} 426,000$ variables, including ${sim} 219,000$ new discoveries. Most (${sim}74%$) of our discoveries are in the Southern hemisphere. Here we use spectroscopic information from LAMOST, GALAH, RAVE, and APOGEE to study the physical and chemical properties of these variables. We find that metal-poor eclipsing binaries have orbital periods that are shorter than metal-rich systems at fixed temperature. We identified rotational variables on the main-sequence, red giant branch and the red clump. A substantial fraction (${gtrsim}80%$) of the rotating giants have large $v_{rm rot}$ or large NUV excesses also indicative of fast rotation. The rotational variables have unusual abundances suggestive of analysis problems. Semi-regular variables tend to be lower metallicity ($rm [Fe/H]{sim}-0.5$) than most giant stars. We find that the APOGEE DR16 temperatures of oxygen-rich semi-regular variables are strongly correlated with the $W_{RP}-W_{JK}$ color index for $rm T_{eff}lesssim3800$ K. Using abundance measurements from APOGEE DR16, we find evidence for Mg and N enrichment in the semi-regular variables. We find that the Aluminum abundances of the semi-regular variables are strongly correlated with the pulsation period, where the variables with $rm Pgtrsim 60$ days are significantly depleted in Al.
The All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) provides long baseline (${sim}4$ yrs) light curves for sources brighter than V$lesssim17$ mag across the whole sky. As part of our effort to characterize the variability of all the stellar sources visible in ASAS-SN, we have produced ${sim}30.1$ million V-band light curves for sources in the southern hemisphere using the APASS DR9 catalog as our input source list. We have systematically searched these sources for variability using a pipeline based on random forest classifiers. We have identified ${sim} 220,000$ variables, including ${sim} 88,300$ new discoveries. In particular, we have discovered ${sim}48,000$ red pulsating variables, ${sim}23,000$ eclipsing binaries, ${sim}2,200$ $delta$-Scuti variables and ${sim}10,200$ rotational variables. The light curves and characteristics of the variables are all available through the ASAS-SN variable stars database (https://asas-sn.osu.edu/variables). The pre-computed ASAS-SN V-band light curves for all the ${sim}30.1$ million sources are available through the ASAS-SN photometry database (https://asas-sn.osu.edu/photometry). This effort will be extended to provide ASAS-SN light curves for sources in the northern hemisphere and for V$lesssim17$ mag sources across the whole sky that are not included in APASS DR9.

An analysis of a group of seven variables stars, classed by ASAS-SN as uncertain RRab, is performed comparing their position in a H-R diagram with respect to a sample of variables of the same type built from public astronomical databases.

By cross-correlating the results of two recent large-scale surveys, the general properties of a well defined sample of semi-regular variable stars have been determined. ISOGAL mid-infrared photometry and MACHO lightcurves are assembled for approximat ely 300 stars in the Baades Windows of low extinction towards the Galactic bulge. These stars are mainly giants of late M spectral type, evolving along the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). They are found to possess a wide and continuous distribution of pulsation periods and to obey an approximate log~period -- bolometric magnitude relation or set of such relations. Approximate mass-loss rates in the range of 1e-8 to 5e-7 M_sun per year are derived from ISOGAL mid-infrared photometry and models of stellar spectra adjusted for the presence of optically-thin circumstellar silicate dust. Mass-loss rates depend on luminosity and pulsation period. Some stars lose mass as rapidly as short-period Miras but do not show Mira-like amplitudes. A period of 70 days or longer is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for mass loss to occur. For AGB stars in the mass-loss ranges that we observe, the functional dependence of mass-loss rate on temperature and luminosity is found to be in agreement with recent theoretical predictions. If we include our mass-loss rates with a sample of extreme mass-losing AGB stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud, we get the general result for AGB stars that mass-loss rate is proportional to luminosity^{2.7}, valid for AGB stars with 10^{-8} to 10^{-4} M_sun per year (Abridged).
