Comparative Analysis Miras/PPN

Extract
The spectrum of R Sct, a star firstly classified as an RV Tau one and located in the highest part of the instability strip, indicates a Na ejected shell at about 1000 R∗ with an expansion velocity close to 50 km/s (Lèbre and Gillet, 1991). This confirms the post AGB character of this star as already mentionned by Jura (1986). So it is interesting to compare the R Sct with some “classical” RV Tauri (AC Her and U Mon) and some “exceptional” miras (R Cen, U CMi and R Nor) with light curves exhibiting a double maximum and with spectral types earlier than those of the other miras with similar periods.
