Popis:	The aim of this work is to create a complete list of sources exhibiting a long secondary period (LSP) in the ASAS-SN catalog of variable stars, and analyze the properties of this sample compared to other long period variables without LSP. We use the period-amplitude diagram to identify the 55572 stars showing an LSP, corresponding to 27% of the pulsating red giants in the catalog. We use the astrometric data from Gaia DR3 and the spectroscopic data provided by the APOGEE, GALAH, and RAVE surveys to investigate the statistical properties of the sample. We find that stars displaying an LSP have a spatial distribution that is more dispersed than the non-LSP giants, suggesting that they belong to an older population. Spectroscopically-derived ages seem to confirm this. The stars with an LSP also appear to be different in terms of C/O ratio from their non-LSP counterparts. Comment: Submitted to A&A
