A census of variability in globular cluster M 68 ( NGC 4590 )
Aims. We analyse 20 nights of CCD observations in the V and I bands of the globular cluster M 68 (NGC 4590) and use them to detect variable objects. We also obtained electron-multiplying CCD (EMCCD) observations for this cluster in order to explore its core with unprecedented spatial resolution from the ground. Methods. We reduced our data using difference image analysis to achieve the best pos...
متن کاملCcd Observations of the Rr Lyrae Variables in the Globular Cluster Ngc 5897
CCD observations for 10 (6 previously known and 4 newly discovered) of the 11 RR Lyrae variables in NGC 5897 have been analysed. The period-luminosity and period-amplitude plots indicate that the population of RR Lyrae variables in NGC 5897 includes 3 fundamental mode, 4 first-overtone and 4 second-overtone variables with mean periods 0.828, 0.459 and 0.343 respectively. The variables have prop...
متن کاملRR Lyrae-based calibration of the Globular Cluster Luminosity Function
We test whether the peak absolute magnitude MV (TO) of the Globular Cluster Luminosity Function (GCLF) can be used for reliable extragalactic distance determinations. Starting with the luminosity function of the Galactic Globular Clusters listed in Harris catalog, we determine MV (TO) either using current calibrations of the absolute magnitude MV (RR) of RR Lyrae stars as a function of the clus...
متن کاملPulsational M V versus [ Fe / H ] relation ( s ) for globular cluster RR Lyrae variables
We use the results from recent computations of updated non-linear convective pulsating models to constrain the distance modulus of Galactic globular clusters through the observed periods of first overtone (RRc) pulsators. The resulting relation between the mean absolute magnitude of RR Lyrae stars < MV (RR) > and the heavy element content [Fe/H ] appears well in the range of several previous em...
متن کاملLyrae Variables in the Globular Cluster M 5
We present V-band CCD photometry of 65 RR Lyr variables from the globular cluster M5. We have estimated the basic physical parameters for 16 RRc stars and 26 RRab stars using a Fourier decomposition of the light curves of the variables. The mean values of mass, luminosity, effective temperature and relative helium abundance for the RRc stars are measured to be M = 0.54 M ⊙ , log(L/L ⊙) = 1.69, ...
