The HIPPARCOS satellite provides astronomical data for about one thousand Long Period Variable stars (LPVs) from which kinematics properties and luminosity calibrations in several bandpasses are deduced using an appropriate method. Several results are deduced: a classification of the LPVs and its relation with the classification from the light curves, a calibration of luminosities inducing properties (age, mass, etc.) along the AGB and a comparison of oxygen to carbon-rich stars.
