- Abstract
Recently, at least four parallel period-luminosity sequences have been found for AGB variables in the LMC and other stellar systems (e.g. Wood 2000). We compare these findings with period and luminosity data for stars in the Globular Cluster 47 Tuc and in the Galactic field, and investigate the pulsational behaviour at different points throughout the P-L-diagram.
