The temperature stratifications and the emitted fluxes of Mira model photospheres based upon the extended density distribution of a pulsation model differ substantially from those of conventional model photospheres based upon a hydrostatic density distribution. Hence, the interpretation of Mira spectra by means of hydrostatic models is inadequate, and the spectral characteristics of Miras may deviate significantly from those of non-Miras.
