The authors' main claim Variables of the RV Tau type are a class of low-mass (with masses of the order of one solar) pulsating F-K-supergiants, which may be at the short-term evolutionary stage of transition from the red giant to the protoplanetary nebula, which explains the small number of stars of this type of variability.

The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

Original abstract

These stars can be associated with semiregular variables giants and supergiants of spectral classes F-K, which are usually denoted by the symbol SRd. In the process of further evolution of the variables of high luminosity fall in the region of red supergiants, becoming the type variables SRc (or Lc), and the variables lower luminosity turn into a semiregular variables SRab (or wrong Lb) of late spectral classes. Variables of the RV Tau type are a class of low-mass (with masses of the order of one solar) pulsating F-K-supergiants, which may be at the short-term evolutionary stage of transition from the red giant to the protoplanetary nebula, which explains the small number of stars of this type of variability.
