Red variables in the OGLE-II data base – II. Comparison of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds
We present period–luminosity relations for more than 3200 red variable stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud observed in the second phase of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE-II). Periods of multiply periodic light curve solutions combined with the single-epoch 2MASS JHKS magnitudes, reveal very similar distributions to those for the Large Magellanic Cloud in Paper I. The main fe...

متن کاملThe chemical composition of red giant stars in four intermediate - age clusters of the Large Magellanic Cloud 1
This paper presents the chemical abundance analysis of a sample of 27 red giant stars located in 4 popolous intermediate-age globular clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud, namely NGC 1651, 1783, 1978 and 2173. This analysis is based on high-resolution (R∼47000) spectra obtained with the UVES@VLT spectrograph. For each cluster we derived up to 20 abundance ratios sampling the main chemical ele...
متن کاملChemical Compositions of Red Giant Stars in Old Large Magellanic Cloud Globular Clusters
We have observed ten red giant stars in four old Large Magellanic Cloud globular clusters with the high-resolution spectrograph MIKE on the Magellan Landon Clay 6.5-m telescope. The stars in our sample have up to 20 elemental abundance determinations for the α-, iron-peak, and neutron-capture element groups. We have also derived abundances for the light odd-Z elements Na and Al. We find NGC 200...
متن کاملRed variables in the OGLE-II data base – I. Pulsations and period–luminosity relations below the tip of the red giant branch of the Large Magellanic Cloud
We present period–luminosity relations for more than 23 000 red giants in the Large Magellanic Cloud observed by the OGLE-II microlensing project. The OGLE period values were combined with the 2MASS single-epoch JHKS photometric data. For the brighter stars we find agreement with previous results (four different sequences corresponding to different modes of pulsation in asymptotic giant branch ...
