Data on angular diameters and infrared photometry for late-type stars are assembled. It is shown that a consistent Teff scale can be established, combining results for Mira and non-Mira M-type stars. The log Teff versus (J- K) relation is much steeper than previously adopted, but is consistent with predictions from model stellar atmospheres. Comparison of the linear diameters of Miras measured in ...
