Abstract:
Following an announcement in the IAU Circular No. 3407 by S. McLean, we have
observed the long period variable Mira (o Ceti) on two nights (6 and 18
October 1979) with the help of a scanner attached to the 104-cm reflector of
the Uttar Pradesh State Observatory as a spectral resolution of 50 A. The
monochromatic magnitudes of the star have been corrected for atmospheric
extinction and have been put on an absolute scale corresponding to Hayes and
Latham (1975) calibration of Vega. Table 1 gives these data.
