| Abstract: |
High precision Kepler photometry is used to explore the details of
AGB light curves. Since AGB variability has a typical time scale on
the order of a year, we present methods for the removal of long-term
trends and quarterly changes in Kepler data. While undergoing
long-period variations of many magnitudes, the light curves are shown
to be smooth at the millimagnitude level over much shorter time
intervals. No flares or other rapid events were detected down to the
sub-day time scale. |
