Optical flickering in Mira and mass accretion rate onto the companion white dwarf
We report photometric observations in Johnson and bands of the short term variability (flickering) of Mira – the prototypical pulsating asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star. The observations are performed over 4 consecutive nights (24–28 November 2024), during the last minimum of the Mira pulsation. The peak-to-peak amplitude observed is 0.25-0.34 mag in band and 0.14-0.19 mag in band. For the flickering source we find colour , temperature K, and average radius R. Assuming the mass of the white dwarf M, we estimate a mass accretion rate M yr−1 during our observations.
