Description
Combining information from the OGLE-III and 2MASS surveys, we have identified large amplitude, Mira, variables that lie above the well defined period-luminosity relation. It has been suggested that such stars may get additional luminosity from envelope burning and we propose to investigate this by looking for lithium with SALT.
