J/AJ/128/2965 Red variables in the NSVS (Williams+, 2004) ================================================================================ Identifying red variables in the Northern Sky Variability Survey. Williams P.R., Wozniak S.J., Vestrand W.T., Gupta V. =2004AJ....128.2965W ================================================================================ ADC_Keywords: Stars, variable ; Stars, giant ; Photometry, infrared Keywords: catalogs - stars: AGB and post-AGB - stars: variables: other Abstract: We present a catalog of 8678 slowly varying stars with near-infrared colors corresponding to the evolved asymptotic giant branch population. Objects were selected from the Northern Sky Variability Survey (NSVS, Wozniak et al., 2004AJ....127.2436W) covering the entire sky above declination {delta}=-38{deg} in a single unfiltered photometric band corresponding to a V-band magnitude range of ~8-15.5mag.
