C0021m723 V1-28: The RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009).
C0021m723 For the stars classified as M, SR or L, the periods, mean
C0021m723 magnitudes and classifications are from Lebzelter et al. (2005)
C0021m723 or from Lebzelter & Wood (2005) and the V amplitudes were derived
C0021m723 from their published light curves, unless indicated otherwise in
C0021m723 the notes on individual stars. "Fox" in the remarks column
C0021m723 indicates the the period is from Fox (1982). "+long" in the
C0021m723 remarks column indicates that a longer period is superimposed
C0021m723 on the published period.
C0021m723 The source for the remaining stars (classified as RR, CST or ?)
C0021m723 are indicated in the Notes on individual stars.
C0021m723 V29-41 (= Edmonds et al. V1-13):
C0021m723 The RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009)
C0021m723 The periods and magnitudes are from Edmonds et al. (1996) unless
C0021m723 indicated otherwise in the notes on individual stars.
C0021m723 A few of these stars (V32=PC1-V04, V35=PC1-V07, V36=PC1-V08,
C0021m723 V38=PC1-V10, V39=PC1-V11, and V40=PC1-V12) were later
C0021m723 investigated by Albrow et al. (2001).
C0021m723 For these stars, the period, mean magnitude and amplitude are
C0021m723 from Albrow et al. (2001) or from the sources indicated in Notes
C0021m723 on individual stars.
C0021m723 The RA values derived by Albrow et al. (2001) for these stars
C0021m723 have a systematic shift relative to the values of Samus et al.
C0021m723 (2009) which were based on Geffert et al. (1997).
C0021m723 The Samus/Geffert values are larger on average by 0.29 sec than
C0021m723 those derived by Albrow et al. This is equivalent to about
C0021m723 1.3 arcseconds.
C0021m723 V42-53:
C0021m723 The RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009).
C0021m723 The periods and magnitudes are from Kaluzny et al. (1998) unless
C0021m723 indicated otherwise in the notes on individual stars.
C0021m723 V54-56:
C0021m723 The RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009).
C0021m723 The remaining data are from the discovery paper by
C0021m723 Gilliland et al. (1998)
C0021m723 ------------
C0021m723 The variables following V56 have been assigned numbers that have been
C0021m723 designated according to their discovery papers.
C0021m723 "Par" and "Sha"
C0021m723 refer to variables announced by Paresce et al. (1992, 1994) and
C0021m723 by Shara et al. (1996). These stars are discussed further in the
C0021m723 notes on individual stars.
C0021m723 "PC1, WF2, WF3, WF4"
C0021m723 designate the variables discovered by Albrow et al. (2001) when
C0021m723 they used the HST to search for Jupiter-sized planetary transits.
C0021m723 The "W" numbers in the remarks column refer to the Chandra X-ray
C0021m723 sources for which the variable star is the optical counterpart
C0021m723 according to Edmonds et al. (2003a) or Heinke et al. (2005).
C0021m723 The W numbers were assigned to Chandra X-ray sources in 47 Tuc
C0021m723 by Grindlay et al. (2001) and authors of subsequent studies
C0021m723 followed their numbering system.
C0021m723 The data for these variables are from the discovery paper of
C0021m723 Albrow et al. (2001) unless indicated otherwise in the Notes/Remarks
C0021m723 column. E2003 in the Remarks column indicates that the data are
C0021m723 from Edmonds et al. (2003a,b).
C0021m723 "W#_opt"
C0021m723 refers to variables discovered by Edmonds et al. (2001, 2002,
C0021m723 2003a,b) when they used the HST images of Albrow et al. (2001)
C0021m723 to search for optical counterparts to Chandra X-ray sources.
C0021m723 The data for these stars are from the discovery papers by Edmonds
C0021m723 and collaborators.
C0021m723 "LW" refers to long period variables discovered by Lebzelter & Wood
C0021m723 (2005). The data for A19 and the LW stars are from Lebzelter &
C0021m723 Wood (2005) or from Lebzelter et al. (2005).
C0021m723 "Wel" refers to variables discovered by Weldrake et al. (2004) in
C0021m723 their search for planetary transits. All the data are from their
C0021m723 discovery paper unless indicated otherwise in the notes on
C0021m723 individual stars.
C0021m723 "KalW" and "KalE"
C0021m723 refer to the west and east fields observed by Kaluzny et al. (2013)
C0021m723 in their search for eclipsing binaries. All the data are from
C0021m723 their discovery paper unless indicated otherwise in the Notes on
C0021m723 individual stars.
C0021m723 "EM" refers to the variables discovered by Figuera Jaimes et al. (2016)
C0021m723 based on their observations made with an electron-multiplying (EM)
C0021m723 CCD. All the data are from their discovery paper unless indicated
C0021m723 otherwise in the Notes on individual stars.
C0021m723 ----------------------------------
C0021m723 Cataclysmic variables
C0021m723 A number of variables have been classified as candidate CVs in
C0021m723 investigations of 47 Tuc. This was based on their location in the
C0021m723 CM diagram, their spectroscopic properties and the fact that they
C0021m723 are optical counterparts of X-ray sources.
C0021m723 Two of these stars (V39 and Par-V2) are confirmed CVs because they
C0021m723 have exhibited eruptions on more than one occasion (see the Notes
C0021m723 below).
C0021m723 In the above table, the remaining CV candidates are designated
C0021m723 "CV?" or "E/CV?" if a binary period has been derived.
C0021m723 Michael Shara and his collaborators (2017, private communiction)
C0021m723 have continued to monitor 47 Tuc with HST observations (~50 times
C0021m723 since 1996) and plan to report their latest results in 2017.
C0021m723 --------------------------------------------
C0021m723 According to the 2010 update to the Harris (1996) catalogue, 47 Tucanae
C0021m723 has a tidal radius of approximately 42 arcminutes. However, 47 Tuc is
C0021m723 located close to the SMC in the sky and as a result, at distances
C0021m723 greater than 20 arcminutes from the cluster centre, there is significant
C0021m723 contamination from the SMC and the Milky Way. This is illustrated in a
C0021m723 paper by Cioni et al. (2016 -see Fig.3). Variables that are clearly
C0021m723 known to be field stars are designated "f" in the above table.
C0021m723 However, for some stars, the membership status may be ambiguous.
C0050m268 The RA and dec for V1 are from Samus et al. (2009) and the remaining
C0050m268 data are from Oosterhoff (1943).
C0050m268 All of the data for V2-V10 are from Kaluzny et al. (1997). Arellano
C0050m268 Ferro et al. (2013) made VI observations of all of these variables and
C0050m268 derived periods and magnitudes comparale to the values of Kaluzny et al.
C0050m268 (1997).
C0100m711 NGC 362 is located near the Small Magellanic Cloud in the sky and as a
C0100m711 result, many SMC stars are included in the field surrounding NGC 362.
C0100m711 It was one of the clusters investigated by Bailey (1902) in his classic
C0100m711 paper on globular cluster variables.
C0100m711 CCD studies of the variables in the field around NGC 362 have been made
C0100m711 by Szekely et al. (2007 = S07), Lebzelter & Wood (2011) and Rozyczka et
C0100m711 al. (2016 = R16).
C0100m711 S07 tabulated data for 84 variables in and around the cluster. Among
C0100m711 these were 15 of the 16 previously known variables. In the above table,
C0100m711 we use the original numbering system of Bailey (1902) and Sawyer Hogg
C0100m711 (1973) for these variables and indicate the Szekely (Sz) numbers in
C0100m711 the remarks column. The new Sz variables that were considered to be
C0100m711 cluster members are listed by their Sz numbers in the table and the
C0100m711 published data for these variables are from S07 unless indicated
C0100m711 otherwise in the Notes/Remarks column.
C0100m711 A discussion of the status of the remaining variables announced by S07
C0100m711 is given below, at the end of the section on discovery of the variables.
C0100m711 Lebzelter & Wood (2011) studied the long period variables, two
C0100m711 previously known and 10 new discoveries. Their new varables are
C0100m711 designated as LW1-10.
C0100m711 R16 obtained light curves for 151 variables, including 100 new and
C0100m711 4 suspected new variables. Among the "new" variables, 12 (V17-V28)
C0100m711 are proper motion members of the cluster and 4 (VN01-VN04) are likely
C0100m711 members. These 16 stars are all listed in the above table.
C0100m711 The rest were considered to be field variables and are not included.
C0100m711 R16 also published significant new information for some of the
C0100m711 previously known variables. Their new results are included in the
C0100m711 above table.
C0100m711
C0100m711 In the table, all the data for V17-V28 and VN01-VN04 are from
C0100m711 the discovery paper by Rozyczka et al. (R16).
C0100m711 The data for the LW variables are from the discovery paper by
C0100m711 Lebzelter & Wood (2011) and for the remaining variables, the data
C0100m711 are from Szekely et al. (S07) unless indicated otherwise in the Notes
C0100m711 on individual stars or in the Notes/Remarks column, where R16
C0100m711 indicates that the data are from Rozyczka et al. (R16).
C0310m554 The RA and dec for V1-21 are from Samus et al. (2009).
C0310m554 The periods, magnitudes, amplitudes and variable types for V2-15
C0310m554 are from Wehlau & Demers (1977). They also published an ID chart for
C0310m554 these variables. Salinas et al. (2007) confirmed the CST status for V1.
C0310m554 The periods, magnitudes, amplitudes and variable types listed for
C0310m554 V16-21 are from Wehlau et al. (1977, IBVS 1361) - except for V18 and
C0310m554 V19 as indicated in the notes on individual stars.
C0310m554 All the data for V22-30 are from Salinas et al. (2007).
C0310m554 Kravtsov et al. (2010) published UBVI photometry for 5481 stars in a
C0310m554 14 by 14 arcmin field around the cluster.
C0325p794 Variable searches of Pal 1 were carried out by Kinman & Rosino (1962)
C0325p794 and by Ortolani & Rosino (1985).
C0325p794
C0325p794 A VI color-magnitude diagram by Rosenberg et al. (1998a) does not
C0325p794 indicate any obvious HB stars. Based on this and on the metal
C0325p794 abundance they derived, [Fe/H]=-0.6, (1998, AJ 115, 658), Rosenberg
C0325p794 et al. (1998b) concluded that Palomar 1 is a very young globular cluster.
C0325p794 The young age (as much as 8 Gyr younger than 47 Tuc) was confirmed by
C0325p794 Sarajedini et al. (2007) who also said they could not rule out the
C0325p794 possibility that Palomar 1 has been misclassified as a globular cluster.
C0325p794 An analysis by Monaco et al. (2011) indicated that the chemical
C0325p794 abundance is similar to that of Galactic open clusters. They proposed
C0325p794 that Pal 1 might be a globular cluster that experienced a peculiar
C0325p794 chemical evolution or an open cluster ejected from the Galactic disk.
C0325p794 From a study of tidal tails, Niederste-Ostholt et al. (2010) suggested
C0325p794 that Pal 1 may have been accreted from a now disrupted dwarf galaxy
C0325p794 about 500 Myr ago.
C0354m498 Aaronson et al. (1984) published a BV color-magnitude diagram that
C0354m498 indicates this object is a globular cluster with a prominent red
C0354m498 horizontal branch. A VI color-magnitude diagram by Dotter et al.
C0354m498 (2008) confirms this. Thus it is a "second parameter" cluster" in the
C0354m498 sense that it has a red HB compared with inner halo clusters with the
C0354m498 same metallicity, [Fe/H] = -1.70. The metallicity was derived by
C0354m498 Suntzeff et al. (1985) based on the calcium H and K line strengths of two
C0354m498 giants.
C0422m213 Ortolani & Gratton (1986) published a BV color-magnitude diagram
C0422m213 that showed an extremely red HB. A VI color-magnitude diagram by
C0422m213 Stetson et al. (1999) confirmed this and also showed about a dozen
C0422m213 blue stragglers.
C0443p313 A variable search of Pal 2 was carried out by Rosino & Pinto (1973).
C0443p313 They concluded that the cluster does not contain any red variables,
C0443p313 but the possibility that any RR Lyrae may be present could not be
C0443p313 ruled out.
C0443p313 A CM diagram was published by Harris et al. (1997). They found a
C0443p313 well populated red horizontal branch with a sparser extension to the
C0443p313 blue. Based on this, they concluded that it is likely that Pal 2
C0443p313 contains RR Lyrae variables, but their observational data were not
C0443p313 suitable for performing a search.
C0443p313 A VI color-magnitude diagram published by Sarajedini et al. (2007)
C0443p313 confirms that the HB is bimodal in color and that the cluster is
C0443p313 located in a direction of high foreground absorption and differential
C0443p313 reddening.
C0512m400 The periods, magnitudes, amplitudes and variability types
C0512m400 for the RR Lyrae variables numbered up to V33 are from
C0512m400 Walker (1998). All of them are considered to be cluster members.
C0512m400 The RA and dec for V1-33 are from Samus et al. (2009).
C0512m400 For variables V34-52, the data are from Sumerel+ (2004IBVS.5533....1S)
C0512m400 unless indicated otherwise in the notes on individual stars.
C0512m400 The data for V53-55 and PSR are from the discovery papers.
C0522m245 A major paper on the variables in NGC 1904 (M79) is by Kains et al.
C0522m245 (2012). They carried out a thorough analysis of the RR Lyrae variables.
C0522m245 In the above table, all the data for V3-7 and V9-14 are from the study
C0522m245 by Kains et al.
C0522m245 V2 and V8 were saturated in their reference images, so the RA and dec
C0522m245 for these two stars are from Samus et al. (2009) and the magnitude,
C0522m245 amplitude and classification for V2 are from Rosino (1952). It seems
C0522m245 probable that V8 might also be a semi-regular, like V2.
C0647m359 The RA and dec for V1-4 are from Samus et al. (2009) and their period,
C0647m359 magnitudes, amplidues and classification are from Clement et al.
C0647m359 (1995).
C0647m359 This cluster is currently undergoing disruption. De Marchi & Pulone
C0647m359 (2007) found a deficiency of low-mass stars and estimated that the
C0647m359 cluster has lost 85% of its original mass. Balbinot et al. (2011)
C0647m359 have detected several extra-tidal features, including a leading and
C0647m359 trailing tail around NGC 2298.
C0734p390 All of the data listed in the above table are from the V photometry
C0734p390 reported by Di Criscienzo et al. (2011a). Their study also included
C0734p390 BI data.
C0734p390 NGC 2419 is one of the brightest GCs in the Milky Way. Recent studies
C0734p390 by Bruns & Kroupa (2011), Cohen et al. (2010) and Di Criscienzio et
C0734p390 al. (2011b) all support the hypothesis that this cluster is the remnant
C0734p390 of a much more massive system. The cluster also has a large population
C0734p390 of blue straggler stars. Dalessandro et al. (2008) published RA, Dec,
C0734p390 and BVI photometry for 232 BSS candidates and noted that their radial
C0734p390 distribution was essentially the same as that of the other stars in the
C0734p390 cluster.
C0906m370 Pyxis is a distant globular cluster, located approximately 40 kpc from
C0906m370 the Galactic centre. A CM diagram published by Dotter et al. (2011),
C0906m370 based on HST photometry, shows a prominent red HB. Harris (1996)
C0906m370 lists [Fe/H] = -1.20 in the 2010 update to his catalogue.
C0911m646 V1-12: The RA and Dec are from Samus et al. (2009) and are updated
C0911m646 from an earlier paper by Evstigneeva et al. (1997).
C0911m646 Most of the remaining information for these stars (except V1, V6 and
C0911m646 V11) is from Clement & Hazen (1989). Lebzelter & Wood (2011) derived
C0911m646 periods and magnitudes for V1 and V11 as part of their study of long
C0911m646 period variables and Kunder et al. (2011) derived a period, magnitude
C0911m646 and amplitude for V6 in their investigation of RR Lyrae variables.
C0911m646 V13-30: The periods and classifications for most of these variables
C0911m646 are from a paper by Corwin et al. (2004). [For the stars indicated by K11
C0911m646 in the comments column, the data were derived by Kunder et al. (2011).]
C0911m646 Corwin et al. (2004) did not derive magnitudes or amplitudes because they
C0911m646 used the image subtraction method.
C0911m646 The RA and dec listed for V13-V30 in the above table were provided
C0911m646 independently by Corwin (2010, private communication) because there
C0911m646 were errors in the coordinates they published in Table 1 on page
C0911m646 669 of their 2004 paper.
C0911m646 V31-50: The RA, dec, periods and mean magnitudes are from Lebzelter &
C0911m646 Wood (2011) who designated them as LW1-20. The amplitudes listed for
C0911m646 these stars have been estimated to the nearest 0.1 mag from their
C0911m646 published light curves.
C0921m770 The data for V1-2 are from the discovery paper by Mochejska et al.
C0921m770 (2000)
C0921m770 Sarajedini et al. (2007) published a CM diagram which showed no
C0921m770 HB population. They concluded that this indicates there has been
C0921m770 significant mass segregation and/or mass loss.
C1003p003 The RA and dec for V1-12 are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1003p003 The remaining data for V1-3 are from Gratton & Ortolani (1984). The
C1003p003 data for V5-12 are from Borissova et al. (1998) where the adopted mean V
C1003p003 magnitudes are the means of the magnitudes that they listed for each
C1003p003 star. In their paper, V5-12 were listed as BS58, V1-5 and V9-10
C1003p003 respectively.
C1003p003 All of the data for V13-14 are from Stetson et al. (1999) where
C1003p003 the mean V magnitudes were estimated from their light curves.
C1015m461 The RA and dec for V1-101 are from Samus et al. (1999).
C1015m461 They published ID charts in an earlier paper (Samus et al. 1996).
C1015m461 Fourcade et al. (1966) also published charts, but Samus et al. (1996)
C1015m461 pointed out that some of Fourcade's identifications were erroneous.
C1015m461 Most of the elements for variables V1-100 are taken from Layden &
C1015m461 Sarajedini (2003) because their study was the most comprehensive.
C1015m461 (They also confirmed the "CST" classification that was previously
C1015m461 reported by Wright (1941) and Kukarkin (1971) for V33, V70, V74,
C1015m461 V75 and V82.)
C1015m461 However, some variables were outside the Layden & Sarajedini field
C1015m461 which was approximately 9.5 by 10 arcmin. In these cases, data from
C1015m461 other sources are listed and this is indicated in the remarks column:
C1015m461 P02 refers to a CCD investigation by Piersimoni et al. (2003).
C1015m461 C84 refers to the photographic investigation by Cacciari (1984)
C1015m461 W41 refers to stars for which Wright (1941) listed the only available
C1015m461 data. These stars were all outside the field of the other
C1015m461 studies. Based on their mean magnitudes and the fact that they
C1015m461 all lie within the 25.3 arcmin tidal radius derived from the
C1015m461 2010 update to the Harris catalogue, they appear to be cluster
C1015m461 members.
C1015m461 K71 refers to Kukarkin (1967,1971a,b). In 1967 and 1971a, he listed
C1015m461 periods and in 1971b, he published the individual magnitudes.
C1015m461 If no data were available from P02, the C84 data are listed and if C84
C1015m461 did not study the star, the W41 data are listed and failing that, K71.
C1015m461 Kukarkin derived periods for variables announced by Wilkens (1965) that
C1015m461 were outside the field of view in the other studies. He also
C1015m461 investigated a few of the "outer" variables for which Wright (1941)
C1015m461 was unable to derive periods.
C1015m461
C1015m461 "A" in the remarks column indicates that the period is from the study
C1015m461 by Arellano Ferro et al. (2014). They derived their periods by
C1015m461 combining their observations (made on 4 consecutive nights in March
C1015m461 2013) with those of Layden & Sarajedini (LS). Arellano Ferro's field
C1015m461 of view was 5.1 by 5.1 arcminutes and included 34 of the 58 RRL stars
C1015m461 observed by LS.
C1015m461 Their paper also includes an excellent finding chart that labels all
C1015m461 of the variable stars in their field of view.
C1015m461 The data for V101 (=V6 of von Braun & Mateo 2002), V102-112 (V1-11 of
C1015m461 Mazur et al. 2003), V113-121 (Layden & Sarajedini 2003), V122-124
C1015m461 (Arellano Ferro et al. 2014) and V125-160 (Kaluzny et al 2016) are
C1015m461 from the discovery papers unless indicated otherwise in the notes on
C1015m461 individual stars.
C1015m461 The effects of differential reddening across the face of NGC 3201 are
C1015m461 substantial. This is illustrated in an extinction map published by
C1015m461 von Braun & Mateo (2001) and was taken into account by Arellano Ferro et
C1015m461 al. (2014) when they estimated the membership status of the SX Phe
C1015m461 variables.
C1015m461 Carretta et al. (2010) and Kravtsov et al. (2010) reported evidence for
C1015m461 inhomogeneity in this cluster's stellar populations associated with
C1015m461 radial distribution.
C1126p292 Periods, magnitudes, amplitudes and variablity types For V1-2 are from
C1126p292 Rosino & Pinto (1973). The RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009)
C1126p292 According to Burbidge & Sandage (1958), there are no RR Lyrae in Pal 4,
C1126p292 a result confirmed by Stetson et al. (1999). The CM diagram has a red HB
C1126p292 that does not extend blueward to the instability strip.
C1207p188 RA, dec, magnitudes, amplitudes and variability types from Stetson et
C1207p188 al. (2005).
C1207p188 NGC 4147 might be connected with the Sgr dwarf galaxy, but according to
C1207p188 Jordi & Grebel (2010), there is still some debate about this.
C1223m724 The BV CM diagram published by Kaluzny & Krzeminski (1993) shows an
C1223m724 extended blue HB and a blue straggler sequence. NGC 4372 is a metal
C1223m724 poor cluster with [Fe/H] = -2.17 according to the 2010 version of the
C1223m724 Harris (1996) catalogue.
C1223m724 The RA and dec for V1 and V2 are from Samus et al. (2009)
C1223m724 The positions, periods and magnitudes for V3-22 are from Kaluzny &
C1223m724 Krzeminski (1993).
C1223m724 The membership status for the W Ursa Majoris (EW) variables: V4, 5, 10,
C1223m724 12, 15, 19, 20, 22 are from Rucinski (2000).
C1235m509 A CM diagram of Ruprecht 106 by Dotter et al. (2011) shows a red HB
C1235m509 and a well populated blue straggler sequence. There is some uncertainty
C1235m509 about the metal abundance of this cluster with values ranging from
C1235m509 [Fe/H] = -1.9 to greater than -1.6. Values based on photometric
C1235m509 indicators are more metal poor than those based on spectroscopy.
C1235m509 Dotter et al. (2011) suggested that this discrepancy might be due to
C1235m509 its unusually low [alpha/Fe] ratio compared with other metal poor
C1235m509 clusters.
C1235m509 In the above table, the RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1235m509 The periods, magnitudes, amplitudes and classifications are from the
C1235m509 discovery paper by Kaluzny et al. (1995).
C1235m509 The field status of V7 and V17 are from Rucinski (2000).
C1236m264 The RA and dec for V1-48 are from Samus et al. (2009) and for V49-53,
C1236m264 they are from Kains et al. (2015).
C1236m264 All of the remaining data in the above table are from Kains et al.
C1236m264 (2015) unless indicated otherwise in the Notes on individual stars.
C1256m706 The coordinates for V1-23 are from Samus et al. (2009) and the ones for
C1256m706 V24-34 are from Darragh & Murphy (2012).
C1256m706 The periods, magnitudes, amplitudes and classifications for the RR Lyrae,
C1256m706 SX Phe and eclipsing variables are from the study by Darragh & Murphy
C1256m706 (2012) unless indicated otherwise in the notes.
C1256m706 The Mira variables (V2, V11) and the semi-regular variables (V9, V10, V16)
C1256m706 were not investigated by Darragh & Murphy because they were too bright or
C1256m706 outside their field of view. These five stars are discussed in the notes
C1256m706 below.
C1310p184 V1-105: The data for all except 20 of these stars are from Arellano
C1310p184 Ferro et al. (2011). These authors also published ID charts for all
C1310p184 of the variables they studied. Some of the mean magnitudes and
C1310p184 amplitudes were published in their 2011 MNRAS paper and the rest were
C1310p184 supplied by Arellano Ferro (2011, private communication). The
C1310p184 amplitudes listed for the SX Phe variables in the above table are
C1310p184 double the values that were published by Arellano Ferro et al. (2011).
C1310p184 In a separate paper (Arellano Ferro et al. 2012), they discussed the
C1310p184 properties of the M53 Blazkko variables.
C1310p184 The 20 variables not included in the study of Arellano Ferro et al.
C1310p184 (2011) are V12, 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 26, 28, 30, 48, 77, 88, 90 which
C1310p184 were not in their field of view and V49, 50, 65, 66, 68, 69, 70 which
C1310p184 were saturated in their images. The RA and dec listed above for these
C1310p184 20 stars are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1310p184 The sources for their periods, magnitudes, amplitudes and variability
C1310p184 types are indicated in the remarks column where
C1310p184 Gor refers to Goranskij (1976),
C1310p184 Cuf refers to Cuffey (1965, 1966),
C1310p184 Kop refers to Kopacki (2000),
C1310p184 DK refers to Dekany & Kovacs (2009) and
C1310p184 Jeon refers to Jeon (2003).
C1310p184 The Goranskij study was based on photographic observations and the mean
C1310p184 B magnitude is the mean of their B_max and B_min.
C1310p184 Kopacki (2000) reduced his data using the image subtraction method and
C1310p184 therefore did not derive magnitudes for many of the variables in his
C1310p184 investigation, including the SR variables he discovered.
C1310p184 Kopacki's paper gave a good summary of previous investigations
C1310p184 of the variables in M53. He also published an ID chart covering an area
C1310p184 of about 6 by 4 arcmin and labelled all of the variables (up to V70)
C1310p184 in the field of view.
C1310p184 V106-109: All the data are from Bramich et al. (2012).
C1313p179 The RA and dec for V1-15 are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1313p179 The periods, magnitudes, amplitudes and classifications for V1 to V10
C1313p179 are from Nemec (2004) and for V11-15 are from Nemec et al. (1995).
C1313p179 According to Law & Majewski (2010), NGC 5053 might be associated with
C1313p179 the Sgr dwarf galaxy, but this can not be conclusively determined until
C1313p179 its proper motion is measured.
C1323m472 The RA, dec and most of the elements listed for V1-410 in the above table
C1323m472 are from the catalogue published by Kaluzny et al. (2004). In cases where
C1323m472 they adopted the periods, magnitudes, amplitudes and classification
C1323m472 from other sources because the stars' images were saturated on their
C1323m472 frames or if they were outside their field of view, this is indicated in
C1323m472 the remarks column where the source is indicated as follows:
C1323m472 Bai refers to Bailey (1902)
C1323m472 Mar refers to Martin (1938)
C1323m472 vG refers to van Gent (1948)
C1323m472 Fea refers to Feast (1965)
C1323m472 Wil refers to Wilkens (1965)
C1323m472 DC refers to Dickens & Carey (1967)
C1323m472 DFL refers to Dickens et al. (1972)
C1323m472 Eg refers to Eggen (1970)
C1323m472 GSz refers to Geyer & Szeidl (1970)
C1323m472 HSH3 refers to Sawyer Hogg's 3rd (1973) catalogue
C1323m472 K96 refers to Kaluzny et al. (1996)
C1323m472 K97a refers to Kaluzny et al. (1997a)
C1323m472 K97b refers to Kaluzny et al. (1997b)
C1323m472 vL refers to van Leeuwen et al. (2000)
C1323m472 Wel refers to Weldrake et al. (2007)
C1323m472 The data for V411 are from Navarrete et al. (2013,2015).
C1323m472 All the data for V412-V450 are from Weldrake et al. (2007). Mean
C1323m472 magnitudes have not been listed for these stars because the V magnitudes
C1323m472 that they published were not mean values. Also the amplitudes have not
C1323m472 been listed because the observations were not made on the standard V
C1323m472 system; they are a combination of V and R.
C1323m472 The data for V451-V454 and V460 are from Randall et al. (2011, 2016).
C1323m472 The sdOV classification is based on the system devised by Kilkenny et
C1323m472 al. (2013).
C1323m472 The data for V455 and V456 are from Navarrete et al. (2015).
C1323m472 The data for V457-459 are from Figuera Jaimes et al. (2016)
C1323m472 The field status for V240 (Ogle #48), V247 (Ogle #57) and V257 (Ogle
C1323m472 #67) was established by Rucinski (2000) who determined that the other
C1323m472 EW variables discovered by Kaluzny et al. (1996, 1997a), i.e., the EW
C1323m472 stars with numbers in the range V197-V260, are cluster members.
C1323m472 Samus et al. (2009) have pointed out that V1, V2, V56, V65, V78, V129,
C1323m472 V133, V168, V269, V283 are listed in the GCVS as NSV 06235 and V0825,
C1323m472 V0833, V0813, V0814, V0826, V0594, V0832, V0791, V1045 Cen,
C1323m472 respectively.
C1323m472 Braga et al. (2016) published homogenous pulsation parameters for 187
C1323m472 candidate RR Lyrae variables.
C1339p286 For V1 to V274:
C1339p286 The RA and dec, as well as the variability types, listed in the
C1339p286 above table are from Bakos et al. (2000), unless otherwise indicated
C1339p286 in the notes on individual stars.
C1339p286 The periods are from Benko et al. (2006, MNRAS 372, 1657) unless
C1339p286 otherwise indicated in the notes on indvidual stars.
C1339p286 RR Lyrae magnitudes and amplitudes are mainly from Corwin & Carney
C1339p286 (2001) or from Benko et al. (2006), if designated "Benko" in the
C1339p286 remarks column. Exceptions are explained in the notes on indiviual
C1339p286 stars. Since Benko et al. (2006) did not list amplitudes in their
C1339p286 table, the amplitudes were estimated from their light curves.
C1339p286 Note that the V magnitude system of Benko could be 0.02 mag fainter
C1339p286 on average than Corwin's.
C1339p286 No magnitudes or amplitudes have been listed for stars that had
C1339p286 blended images in the data of both Corwin & Carney (2001) and Benko
C1339p286 et al. (2006). These stars are designated "blend" in the "Remarks"
C1339p286 column.
C1339p286 For V286 to V297:
C1339p286 All of the information listed in the above table is from the
C1339p286 discovery paper by Hartmann et al. (2005).
C1339p286 Identification charts for most of the variables numbered up to V259
C1339p286 have been published by Kholopv (1977) or by Kadla & Gerashchenko (1982).
C1339p286 However, the numbering system for V226 and up was assigned after
C1339p286 these papers were published so these higher numbered stars were
C1339p286 labelled by their designations according to Kholopov or Kadla.
C1339p286 An important catalog of 1571 M3 stars was published by von Zeipel
C1339p286 (1908). It is available from the Harvard ADS. Many authors have cited
C1339p286 the von Zeipel numbers. Sawyer (1955) listed vZ numbers for variables
C1339p286 V1-204 in her second catalog and for V205-225 in her third catalog (1973).
C1339p286 ====
C1339p286 Notes on individual stars
C1339p286 V2: Shapley (1914) commented that V2 (star 9 in his Table II) is a
C1339p286 close double and that it is almost certain that both components
C1339p286 are variable. However, Bakos et al. (2000) found that neither
C1339p286 component varied on the CCD images they obtained. We have
C1339p286 therefore classified V2 as non-variable.
C1339p286 V13: The double-mode nature of V13, V200 and V251 was first
C1339p286 recognized by Clementini et al. (2004)
C1339p286 V29: V29 and V155 were interchanged by Evstigneeva et al. (1994)
C1339p286 and by Corwin & Carney (2001). The period we list for V29 is
C1339p286 from Benko et al. (2006) and the mean magnitude and amplitude
C1339p286 are the ones Corwin & Carney (2001) listed for V155.
C1339p286 V82: Benko et al. (2006) did not list a period for V82, V91,
C1339p286 V115 or V192. For these stars, we list the periods, as
C1339p286 well as the mean magnitudes and amplitudes, published
C1339p286 by Corwin & Carney (2001)
C1339p286 V91: See V82.
C1339p286 V95: The period, magnitude and amplitude listed for V95 and
C1339p286 V225 are from Russev (1971). Rosino (1978) classified V95,
C1339p286 V138 and V225 as semi-regular variables.
C1339p286 V96: For V96, V139, V168, V188 and V195, we list the magnitudes
C1339p286 from Benko et al. (2006) and amplitudes from Corwin & Carney
C1339p286 (2001). Corwin & Carney did not publish mean magnitudes for
C1339p286 these stars.
C1339p286 V112: Bailey (1913, HA 78, p. 67) commented that the range of
C1339p286 variation was small for V112 so no effort was made to
C1339p286 determine a period.
C1339p286 Sawyer (1939) classified it as non-variable all of her
C1339p286 catalogs. The star was not included in subsequent
C1339p286 investigations by other authors.
C1339p286 V113: The period, magnitude and amplitude listed for V113 and
C1339p286 V123 are from Szeidl (1965). According to Samus (2009, private
C1339p286 communication), V113 is XX CVn in the GCVS.
C1339p286 V115: Period, as well as the mean magnitude and amplitude, published
C1339p286 by Corwin & Carney (2001). See V82.
C1339p286 V123: Data from Szeidl. See V113.
C1339p286 V127: Bailey (1913) was unable to derive a period for V127
C1339p286 because it had two close companions. Muller (1933, Berlin
C1339p286 Babelsberg Veroff 11, 1) subsequently showed that the northern
C1339p286 component, which he designated as V146, was the variable.
C1339p286 Sawyer Hogg (1939) therefore classified V127 as non-variable
C1339p286 in her first and subsequent catalogs.
C1339p286 Later, Kholopov (1963) found that the southwest component (his
C1339p286 X34 = vZ 1198) was also variable.
C1339p286 Sawyer Hogg (1973) designated X34 as V222 in her 3rd catalog.
C1339p286 V138: Period, magnitude and amplitude from Olah and Russev (1979). In
C1339p286 an earlier paper, Russev (1971) derived a longer period. Rosino
C1339p286 (1978) classified V95, V138 and V225 as semi-regular variables.
C1339p286 V139: Magnitudes from Benko et al. and amplitude from Corwin & Carney.
C1339p286 See V96.
C1339p286 V140: When this M3 file was posted in 2009, V140 was incorrectly
C1339p286 listed as an RR0 type. It should be RR1. Marcio Catelan
C1339p286 (2011- private communication) pointed out the error.
C1339p286 V141: V141=RV CVn in the GCVS. Period, magnitude, amplitude and
C1339p286 classification are from Szeidl (1973) who considered it to be a
C1339p286 field star.
C1339p286 However, a proper motion study by Tucholke et al. (1994)
C1339p286 indicates that it is a probable member.
C1339p286 V146: According to Benko et al. (2006), V146 and V222 were
C1339p286 interchanged by Corwin & Carney (2001) and by Clementini et al.
C1339p286 (2004). The magnitude and amplitude that we list for V146 in the
C1339p286 above table are the values listed by Corwin & Carney for V222.
C1339p286 Kholopov (1977) pointed out that the observations that Greenstein
C1339p286 (1935) published for V146 are really for V222.
C1339p286 See also the comment for V127.
C1339p286 V154: Period, magnitude, amplitude and variability type listed
C1339p286 in the above table are from Kholopov (1972)
C1339p286 V155: V29 and V155 were interchanged by Evstigneeva et al. (1994)
C1339p286 and by Corwin & Carney (2001)
C1339p286 The period we list for V155 is from Benko and the mean
C1339p286 magnitude and amplitude are the ones Corwin & Carney (2001)
C1339p286 listed for V29.
C1339p286 V157: Mean magnitude from Benko et al. (2006) because Corwin &
C1339p286 Carney (2001) did not publish a value. Amplitude difficult to
C1339p286 estimate because of Blazhko effect.
C1339p286 V158: Greenstein (1935) derived a period of 0.50809 which was listed
C1339p286 by Sawyer Hogg in her catalogs. However, in her 2nd and 3rd
C1339p286 catalogs, she indicated that the period was uncertain.
C1339p286 Bakos et al. (2000) did not detect any variation.
C1339p286 V162: Greenstein (1935) classified this star as non-variable. He noted
C1339p286 that it was part of a triple system.
C1339p286 Later Kholopov (1963, Per Zvez 14, 275) found that one of
C1339p286 the other stars in the triplet (vZ 950 = X28) was variable.
C1339p286 Sawyer Hogg (1973) designated vZ 950 as V218 in her 3rd catalog.
C1339p286 V163: Greenstein (1935) classified this star as non-variable. Bakos
C1339p286 et al (2000) noted that the x,y position listed in Sawyer Hogg's
C1339p286 catalogs was midway between V180 and a non-variable. According
C1339p286 to Bakos, Kholopov (1977) labelled the non-variable as V163.
C1339p286 Bakos therefore accepted the non-variable as V163 to avoid
C1339p286 confusion.
C1339p286 See also the comments for V180.
C1339p286 V164: Greenstein (1935) noted that this star was badly blended and
C1339p286 and that, if it was variable, its range was les than 0.35 mag.
C1339p286 Benko et al (2006) classified it as non variable.
C1339p286 Corwin & Carney derived a period, but according to Clementini
C1339p286 et al. (2004), the star that they studied was V234, not V164.
C1339p286 V165: Bakos et al. pointed out that there was an error in the sign
C1339p286 of the "y" coordinate listed for this star in Sawyer Hogg's
C1339p286 (1973) 3rd catalog, but it was correct in the 1939 and 1955
C1339p286 editions. The mean magnitude and amplitude we list for V165
C1339p286 were derived by Benko et al. because Corwin & Carney did not
C1339p286 publish an amplitude or mean magnitude for it.
C1339p286 V168: Magnitudes from Benko et al. and amplitude from Corwin & Carney.
C1339p286 See V96.
C1339p286 V179: Greenstein (1935) commented that the star was difficult to
C1339p286 measure and that if it was variable, it had a small range.
C1339p286 Sawyer (1939) classified it as non-variable in all 3 of her
C1339p286 catalogs. Bakos et al. (2000) were unable to locate the star
C1339p286 unambiguously on POSS images. The RA and dec listed in the
C1339p286 above table were calculated by Samus (2009, private
C1339p286 communication). He derived a relation between x,y and RA, dec
C1339p286 based on 39 M3 stars and used it to calculate the RA and dec
C1339p286 for V179 from the published x,y coordinates.
C1339p286 There is a 2MASS star in the same location. The RA and dec
C1339p286 listed in the 2001 on-line update to the catalog were
C1339p286 incorrect.
C1339p286 V180: V180 = vZ 676: Shapley (1914) stated that vZ676 was composed
C1339p286 of five distinct stars, of which the variable is the brightest
C1339p286 and most centrally located. Greenstein (1935) could not measure
C1339p286 it because of the crowding. Sawyer (1939) classified it as
C1339p286 non-variable in all three of her catalogs. However, Kholopov
C1339p286 (1977) and Bakos et al. (2000) found that there are two RR Lyrae
C1339p286 variable stars close to (and equidistant from) the position
C1339p286 listed for V180 in Sawyer Hogg's catalogs. The eastern component
C1339p286 was chosen by them to be V180 and the western component,
C1339p286 Kholopov's X13 was designated V239 by Bakos et al.
C1339p286 The period, magnitude, amplitude and classification we list in
C1339p286 the above table are from Bakos et al. (2005). We estimated the
C1339p286 amplitude from their published light curve.
C1339p286 V182: Greenstein could not confirm the variability of this star.
C1339p286 Sawyer (1939) classified it as non variable in all three
C1339p286 of her catalogs and Bakos et al. (2000) and Benko et al.
C1339p286 (2006) confirmed its non-varable status.
C1339p286 V183: Greenstein commented that V183 was blended with V145.
C1339p286 Sawyer (1939) classified it as non-variable in all three
C1339p286 of her catalogs. Bakos et al. (2000) confirmed its non-variable
C1339p286 status.
C1339p286 V185: Greenstein commented that this was a bright star with a small
C1339p286 range. Bakos et al. (2000) did not detect any variation. Corwin &
C1339p286 Carney (2001) and Benko et al (2006) did not study it.
C1339p286 V188: Magnitudes from Benko et al. and amplitude from Corwin & Carney.
C1339p286 See V96.
C1339p286 V192: Period from Corwin & Carney. See V82.
C1339p286 V195: Magnitudes from Benko et al. and amplitude from Corwin & Carney.
C1339p286 See V96.
C1339p286 V196: The variation of V196 was announced by Greenstein. He could
C1339p286 not derive a period because it was a double and difficult
C1339p286 to measure. Bakos et al. (2000) found that both components
C1339p286 are constant.
C1339p286 V198: Bakos et al. did not confirm variation in this star based on
C1339p286 one night of observations. However, Corwin & Carney derived
C1339p286 a period from their observations and commented that the star
C1339p286 appears to be slightly above the HB of the CMD.
C1339p286 V199: The magnitude and amplitude listed above are from
C1339p286 Greenstein's (1935) paper. He derived a period of 0.488, but
C1339p286 noted that it was doubtful. Corwin & Carney derived 0.40891,
C1339p286 but indicated that it was uncertain. They did not publish a
C1339p286 light curve or list a mean magnitude.
C1339p286 V200: The period, magnitude and variability type are from Benko et al.
C1339p286 (2006). The double-mode nature of V200 was first recognized by
C1339p286 Clementini et al. (2004).
C1339p286 V204: This star was incorrectly listed as von Zeipel 390 (instead of
C1339p286 1390) in Sawyer's (1955) 2nd catalog. As a result, its x,y was
C1339p286 incorrect in her 2nd and 3rd catalogs. According to Corwin &
C1339p286 Carney (2001) and Benko et al. (2006), this star is non-variable.
C1339p286 However, Yao (2007) claims that it is a red HB star with a period
C1339p286 of 0.74785 and V amplitude 0.04.
C1339p286
C1339p286 V205, 206:
C1339p286 Evstigneeva et al. (1994) pointed out that V205 and 206 are WY
C1339p286 CVn and VZ CVn in the GCVS.
C1339p286 The periods and magnitudes we list for these two stars are from
C1339p286 Kukarkin (1960, Ast Tsirk 216, 29).
C1339p286 V217: Guhathakurta et al. (1994) classified this star (Gu9023)
C1339p286 as an RR Lyrae.
C1339p286 V222: According to Benko et al. (2006), V146 and V222 were
C1339p286 interchanged by Corwin & Carney (2001) and by Clementini et
C1339p286 al. (2004). The magnitude and amplitude that we list for V222
C1339p286 in the above table are the values listed by Corwin & Carney for
C1339p286 V146. See the comment for V146.
C1339p286 V224: Bakos et al. (2000) confirmed that this star was variable, but
C1339p286 also commented that its image merges with that of a nearby star.
C1339p286 It was not investigated further in their subsequent paper (Benko
C1339p286 et al. 2006).
C1339p286 V225: The period, magnitude and amplitude listed for V95 and
C1339p286 V225 are from Russev (1971). Rosino (1978) classified V95,
C1339p286 V138 and V225 as semi-regular variables.
C1339p286 V230: This was Kholopov's (1977) X41. It was not labelled on his ID
C1339p286 chart because it was too far from the cluster centre. It was not
C1339p286 studied by Corwin & Carney (2001) or by Benko et al. (2006).
C1339p286 V234: According to Corwin & Carney (2001), this star is an RR Lyrae
C1339p286 that might be more distant than the cluster so we have classified
C1339p286 it as a field star. In their investigation, they called the
C1339p286 star V164, but Clementini et al. (2004) later pointed out that it
C1339p286 was V234.
C1339p286 V236 (vZ 1397):
C1339p286 Period, magnitude and amplitude in the above table are from
C1339p286 Olah (1979) based on 195 Budapest observations obtained between
C1339p286 1938 and 1962. A period of 215.8 days also fit the data. The
C1339p286 star was also discussed by Welty (1985) who derived periods of
C1339p286 32.2 and 60.2 from Yerkes observations obtained between 1978 and
C1339p286 1983. He preferred the 60 day period. We classify the star as SR.
C1339p286 V237, V238, V239:
C1339p286 Benko et al. (2006) pointed out that the dec for V238 and V239
C1339p286 were incorrectly listed in the 2001 on-line version of the
C1339p286 catalog. Meanwhile, Hartman et al. (2005) pointed out
C1339p286 that the coordinates of V237 and V238 were switched in the
C1339p286 discovery paper (Kaluzny) and that this error had propagated
C1339p286 through to the catalog of Bakos et al. (2000). The coordinates
C1339p286 listed for V237, V238, V239 have all been revised accordingly
C1339p286 in the above table.
C1339p286 V237: Period, magnitude, amplitude and classification from
C1339p286 Hartman et al. (2005).
C1339p286 V238: Period, magnitude, amplitude and classification
C1339p286 from the discovery paper by Kaluzny et al. (1998)
C1339p286 The non-membership status for V238 is from Rucinski (2000).
C1339p286 V240: Mean magnitude from Corwin & Carney (2001) and amplitude
C1339p286 estimated from the light curve published by Benko et al. (2006)
C1339p286 V250n, V250s:
C1339p286 Benko et al. (2006) discovered that the image of V250 consisted
C1339p286 of two close companions, both RR0 variables. They derived a
C1339p286 period for each star, but it was not possible to derive individual
C1339p286 magnitudes or amplitudes.
C1339p286 V251: The double-mode nature of V251 was first recognized by
C1339p286 Clementini et al. (2004).
C1339p286 V260: This star (vZ 297) is among the brightest stars on the giant
C1339p286 branch and Walker (1955) suggested that it might be variable.
C1339p286 However, the variation was not confirmed by Olah (1979) nor by
C1339p286 Welty (1985). The mean magnitude we list in the above table is
C1339p286 from Olah's paper.
C1339p286 We classify it as SR? because its colour and magnitude are
C1339p286 comparable to the SR variables in M3: V95, V138, V225 and V236.
C1339p286 V262: Guhathakurta et al. (1994) classified this star (Gu 552) as an
C1339p286 RR Lyrae variable, but Bakos et al. (2000) found no trace of
C1339p286 variation, hence the "CST?" designation.
C1339p286
C1339p286 V265, V267, V268:
C1339p286 V265=Gu 1489, V267=Gu 9016, V268=Gu 9025: These stars all have
C1339p286 close companions. The variability types were assigned by
C1339p286 Guhathakurta et al. (1994, AJ 108, 1786) but they did not derive
C1339p286 precise periods for any of them.
C1339p286 V270n, V270s:
C1339p286 Benko et al. (2006) discovered that the image of V270 consisted
C1339p286 of two close companions, both RR0 variables. They derived a
C1339p286 period for each star, but it was not possible to derive individual
C1339p286 magnitudes or amplitudes.
C1339p286 V272, V273, V274:
C1339p286 Light curves based on the image subtraction method were
C1339p286 published by Bakos et al. (2000). Benko et al. (2006)
C1339p286 published a period for V273. We have classified them all
C1339p286 as SR because Benko et al. indicated that they varied on
C1339p286 "long" time scales.
C1339p286 S1-S11:
C1339p286 Strader et al. (2002) announced the discovery of 11 new
C1339p286 suspected variables (S1-11). They derived periods ranging from
C1339p286 7 to 32 hours for 9 of the stars, but the observations of Benko
C1339p286 et al. (2006) did not confirm any of these discoveries.
C1339p286 When Hartmann et al. (2005) set up their numbering system for
C1339p286 V286 to V297, they left a gap from V275 to V285 to accommodate
C1339p286 these 11 variables.
C1339p286 However, we have not assigned numbers to them because of
C1339p286 Benko's result.
C1339p286 V298: This star is N2 in the paper by Benko et al. (2006) and
C1339p286 all of the information listed for it is from their paper.
C1339p286
C1343m511 A major study of the variables in NGC 5286 was carried out by Zorotovic
C1343m511 et al. (2010).
C1343m511 The data for V1-62 in the above table are from their study unless indicated
C1343m511 otherwise in the notes on individual stars.
C1343m511 NOTE that the mean V values that Zorotovic et al. (2010) published, and
C1343m511 listed in the above table, were corrected for reddening according to a
C1343m511 method described in an earlier paper (Zorotovic et al. 2009).
C1343m511 The data for V63-73 are from the discovery paper of Figuera Jaimes et
C1343m511 al. (2016).
C1353m269 Inman & Carney (1987, AJ 93, 1166) published a
C1353m269 BV color-magnitude diagram which had no giant
C1353m269 or HB stars. Its brightest stars are post-main
C1353m269 sequence subgiants. They concluded that AM4 is an
C1353m269 unusually faint, low-mass object. It could be
C1353m269 a globular cluster similar to M3 in age and
C1353m269 metal abundance.
C1353m269 Carraro (2009, AJ 137, 3809) obtained BVI photometry
C1353m269 that confirmed this. The cluster is tidally distorted
C1353m269 and could be "an almost dissolved cluster" of extragalactic
C1353m269 origin.
C1403p287 The RA and dec for V1-36 were taken from Samus et al. (1999) and for
C1403p287 V39-41 from Jeon et al. (2004). Jeon et al. also derived RA and dec
C1403p287 for V31-36 and these are in good agreement with the values of Samus et al.
C1403p287 The periods, magnitudes and classifications for all of the variables
C1403p287 numbered from V1-27 (with the exception of V1 and V20) are from
C1403p287 Corwin et al. (1999). V1 and V20 are discussed in the notes on individual
C1403p287 variables.
C1403p287 Periods, magnitudes, amplitudes and classification for V28-30 are
C1403p287 from Mateo et al. (1990) who concluded that all three were probably cluster
C1403p287 members. The membership status for V28 and V29 was confirmed by
C1403p287 Rucinski (2000). V30 was not included in his study.
C1403p287 Periods, magnitudes, amplitudes and classifications for V31-V36 are from
C1403p287 Jeon et al. (2004) who listed the stars according to the numbering system
C1403p287 of the Nemec & Mateo (1990): NH 29, 49, 35, 27, 39, 38.
C1403p287 All the data for V37 and V38 are from the paper by Arellano Ferro et al.
C1403p287 (2008). The periods they derived are in the RR Lyrae range, but with
C1403p287 unusally low amplitudes. They are brighter than the RR Lyrae variables in
C1403p287 the cluster and might be field stars.
C1403p287 All of the data listed for V39-41 are from the paper by Jeon et al.
C1403p287 (2004). Their paper presented several frequencies and amplitudes. The
C1403p287 periods that we list in the above table are the ones associated with
C1403p287 their dominant frequency.
C1427m057 For V1-7, the RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009) and the periods,
C1427m057 magnitudes and classification are from Liller & Sawyer Hogg (1976)
C1427m057 unless indicated otherwise in the notes on individual stars.
C1427m057 The periods and classifications for V8-21 are from the discovery paper
C1427m057 by Salinas et al. (2005). The RA and dec were derived from the study
C1427m057 by Salinas et al. (2012) and were provided by Salinas (2013, private
C1427m057 communication), unless indicated otherwise in the note on individual
C1427m057 stars.
C1427m057 Salinas et al. (2012) studied the spatial distribution of the blue
C1427m057 stragglers in NGC 5634, as well as in three other Sagitarrius dwarf
C1427m057 galaxy GCs: Arp 2, Pal 12 and Terzan 8.
C1436m263 All of the data in the above table are from the discovery paper by
C1436m263 Rodrigues de Andrade et al. (2012). No variables were detected in the
C1436m263 earlier photographic searches by Baade (1934) or Hazen (1996).
C1452m820 IC 4499 is a unique cluster because it has a high frequency of RR Lyrae
C1452m820 variables. Also IC 4499 and M3 are the only Galactic Oosterhoff type I
C1452m820 clusters that have double-mode RR Lyrae (RR01) variables.
C1452m820 The RA and dec n the above table are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1452m820 All of the periods, magnitudes and amplitudes in the above table
C1452m820 were taken from the paper by Walker & Nemec (1996). In addition,
C1452m820 the variability types we have listed for all of the stars classified
C1452m820 as RR0, RR01, RR1, RR2 and SXPHE are the types adopted by Walker & Nemec.
C1500m328 The periods, magnitudes, amplitudes and classifications for V1-27 are
C1500m328 from the study by Rosino (1961). However, Rosino noted that there is a
C1500m328 constant zero-point error in the magnitudes that he derived.
C1500m328 The RA and dec are from the paper by Samus et al. (2009).
C1500m328 A BV colour magitude diagram by Brocato et al. (1996) shows a well
C1500m328 defined blue HB. Saviane et al. (2010) showed evidence for an intrinsic
C1500m328 internal abundance spread among giant branch stars in NGC 5824.
C1513p000 Pal 5 is a sparsely populated cluster. According to Odenkirchen et al.
C1513p000 (2003), tidal tails associated with Pal 5 can be traced over an arc of
C1513p000 10 degrees on the sky.
C1513p000 The RA and dec in the above table are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1513p000 The periods, magnitudes, amplitudes and variablity types in the above
C1513p000 table are from Kinman & Rosino (1962 - Table 1). Vivas et al. (2004)
C1513p000 derived periods that were significantly for V1, V3 and V4, but concluded
C1513p000 that the periods of Kinman & Rosino (1962) were more reliable because
C1513p000 their observartions were more extensive..
C1514m208 The RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009). The remaining data are
C1514m208 from Clement & Rowe (2001) unless indicated otherwise in the notes on
C1514m208 individual variables.
C1514m208 The RR2 classifications for V7, V8, V12, and V13 were made by Clement &
C1514m208 Rowe (2001). However, these are now called into question. These
C1514m208 four stars are probably first overtone pulsators. They all have periods
C1514m208 and amplitudes comparable to Omega Cen variables that were previously
C1514m208 considered to be RR2 variables. However, after Kaluzny et al. (2004)
C1514m208 derived (B-V) colours for the Omega Cen variables, it was clear that
C1514m208 these Omega Cen stars were RR1 variables.
C1516p022 The RA and dec for V1-169 are from Samus et al. (2009)
C1516p022 All the data for V170-181 are from Arellano Ferro et al. (2015).
C1516p022 Most of the periods, amplitudes, magnitudes and classifications for
C1516p022 V1-169 are from the study by Kaluzny et al. (2000). Otherwise, the source
C1516p022 is indicated in the remarks column:
C1516p022 Oost refers to Oosterhoff (1941) whose study was based on
C1516p022 photographic observations. These stars are generally
C1516p022 outside of the field of view of the CCD investigations of M5.
C1516p022 Storm refers to Storm et al. (1991)
C1516p022 Reid refers to Reid (1996)
C1516p022 RSPO refers to Rabidoux et al. (2010)
C1516p022 Kal99 refers to Kaluzny et al. (1999)
C1516p022 Krav92 refers to Kravtsov (1992)
C1516p022 Olech refers to Olech et al. (1999)
C1516p022 Cap refers to Caputo et al. (1999)
C1516p022 OlCap indicates the periods are from Olech et al. (1999) and the
C1516p022 remaining data are from Caputo et al.
C1516p022 Samus refers to Samus et al. (1999)
C1516p022 Ar refers to Arellano Ferro et al. (2015).
C1516p022 ArRd indicates that the position is from Arellano Ferro et al. (2015)
C1516p022 and the remaining data are from Reid (1996).
C1516p022 ArSz indicates that the position is from Arellano Ferro et al. (2015)
C1516p022 and the period is from Szeidl et al. (2011).
C1516p022 DS refers to Drissen & Shara (1998)
C1516p022 Coppola et al. (2011, 2012) made J, K-band time series observations of
C1516p022 the RR Lyrae variables and derived PLK and PLJ relations.
C1524m505 The RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009). All of the remaining data
C1524m505 are from Lloyd Evans & Menzies (1977). Lloyd Evans & Menzies also
C1524m505 listed magnitudes and colours for two additional red variables that were
C1524m505 probable non-members.
C1531m504 The RA and dec for the variables are from Samus et al. (2009). The
C1531m504 remaining data are from Liller (1983) who also presented data for 12
C1531m504 field variables in the cluster vicinity.
C1531m504 NGC 5946 has not been well studied. It is a difficult cluster to observe
C1531m504 because it lies near the galactic plane and is heavily reddened. In the
C1531m504 2010 update to his catalogue of GC parameters, Harris (1996) lists
C1531m504 [Fe/H] =-1.29 based on observations by Armandroff & Zinn (1988) and a
C1531m504 CMD published by Alcaino et al. (1991) shows a predominantly blue HB. On
C1531m504 the basis of the giant branch slope, both Alcaino et al. (1991) and
C1531m504 Davidge (1985) have concluded that the metallicity of this cluster is
C1531m504 lower than generally assumed.
C1542m376 The CM diagram of NGC 5986 has a predominantly blue HB (Alves et al.
C1542m376 2001).
C1542m376 In the above table, the RA and dec for V1-12 are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1542m376 The remaining data for stars with V mags listed are from Alves
C1542m376 et al. (2001). For stars outside their field of view, the B data from
C1542m376 Liller & Lichten (1978) are listed.
C1542m376 All the data for V13 are from the discovery paper by Matsunaga et al.
C1542m376 (2006).
C1607m551 This was thought to be an open cluster until Ortolani et al. (1993)
C1607m551 showed it to be a thick disk globular cluster.
C1607m551 A VI CM diagram by Sarajedini et al. (2007) shows a prominent HB red
C1607m551 clump.
C1607m551 The data listed for V1 are from Sloan et al. (2010) who conclude that it
C1607m551 is a carbon star, but probably a cluster member.
C1608p150 A CM diagram by Da Costa et al. (1982, ApJ 257, 633)
C1608p150 indicates that the HB stars are red.
C1608p150 This is confirmed in a more recent paper by Dotter et al.
C1608p150 (2008, AJ 136, 1407)
C1608p150 Rosino & Ortolani
C1608p150 (1985, Mem Soc Ast It, 56, 113) stated that further
C1608p150 observations would be required to determine if the cluster
C1608p150 has any variables.
C1614m228 The data for V1-33 are from Kopacki (2013) unless indicated otherwise in
C1614m228 the notes on individual stars (e.g. V6, V7, V11, V12)
C1614m228 Four of the RR Lyrae variables, (V10, V17, V19, V20), were observed by
C1614m228 Figuera Jaimes et al (2016) who made small revisions to the periods.
C1614m228 FJ in the remarks column indicates that the period was derived by them.
C1614m228 The data for V34-40 are from Figuera Jaimes et al. (2016).
C1614m228 For the Nova, the RA and dec are from Dieball et al. (2010). It is their
C1614m228 X-ray source CX01. The maximum visual apparent magnitude was derived by
C1614m228 Sawyer (1938 - see page 75), based on the estimates of 7.0 and 6.5 by
C1614m228 Auwers and Luther respectively, on May 21, 1860.
C1620m264 V1-92, V111-112
C1620m264 Stetson et al. (2014) investigated all of the variables numbered V1-92
C1620m264 and V111-112; the RA and dec for most of these stars are from their
C1620m264 study. For stars with "Sam" indicated in the "remarks" column, the
C1620m264 RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1620m264 The remaining data for these stars are also from Stetson et al. (2014)
C1620m264 unless indicated otherwise in the "Notes on individual stars".
C1620m264 If K13a/K13b is listed in the "Remarks column, the periods, magnitudes,
C1620m264 amplitudes and classifications are from Kaluzny et al. (2013a/b).
C1620m264 V93-109 (= N1, N2, etc.)
C1620m264 All of the data for these variables are from the discovery paper by
C1620m264 Nascimbeni et al. (2014). They noted that the V magnitudes they
C1620m264 listed were obtained by cross-matching their catalogue with that of
C1620m264 Sarajedini et al. (2007) and do not represent the intensity-weighted
C1620m264 averages derived from light curves. The V amplitudes listed for these
C1620m264 variables in the above table were read from the light curves plotted in
C1620m264 Figures 4 and 5 of the Nascimbeni et al. paper. They established
C1620m264 membership status for their new variables by estimating proper motions
C1620m264 from HST observations made at two epochs separated by ~6 years.
C1620m264 Other proper motion/membership studies of stars in M4 have been carried
C1620m264 out by Cudworth & Rees (1990) and by Zloczewski et al. (2012).
C1620m720 The most comprehensive studies of the RR Lyrae in NGC 6101 were by Cohen
C1620m720 et al. (2011) and Fitzgerald et al. (2012). The Cohen observations were
C1620m720 obtained on 6 consecutive nights in July 2008 and the Fitzgerald
C1620m720 observations were made on 31 nights between June 2010 and April 2011.
C1620m720 The variables V1-10, V20, V22 were studied by both groups and for these
C1620m720 stars, we adopt the periods derived by Fitzgerald et al. and the RA, dec,
C1620m720 magnitudes and amplitudes from Cohen et al.
C1620m720 All the data for V16-19 and V21 are from Cohen et al. (2011) and the
C1620m720 data for V23 are from Fitzgerald et al. (2012).
C1620m720 The RA and dec for V11-15 are from Samus et al. (2009) and the remaining
C1620m720 data for these stars are from the discovery paper by Liller (1981)
C1620m720 Sarajedini & Da Costa (1999) showed that NGC 6101 has a significant blue
C1620m720 straggler population, but no variable star searches have yet been
C1620m720 undertaken among the BSS population.
C1624m259 Neely et al. (2000) pointed out that the cluster is located in the
C1624m259 region of the Rho Ophiuchus dust cloud and it seems that both of the
C1624m259 variables are irregular, eruptive variables associated with the nebula.
C1624m259 The RA and dec in the above table are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1624m259 The remaining data are from the GCVS, based on the study of
C1624m259 Satyvoldiev (1982). V1 shows short term variations.
C1624m387 The RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009). The remaining data are
C1624m387 from Hazen (1991). The long period variabes V1-3 are brighter than the
C1624m387 RR Lyrae variables and are considered to be cluster members. The
C1624m387 candidate cataclysmic variable had one outburst and was below the plate
C1624m387 limit (Bmag > 19.6) the rest of the time.
C1625m352 Terzan 3 is a low concentration cluster projected on the outskirts of
C1625m352 the Galactic bulge. A near infra-red CM diagram (K, J-K) by Valenti et
C1625m352 al. (2007) shows a red clumpy HB indicative of a moderately high
C1625m352 metallicity. They used their data to derive a photometric [Fe/H] =
C1625m352 -0.82. This is in good agreement with the value [Fe/H]= -0.75 that Cote
C1625m352 (1999) derived by measuring the equivalent width of an FeI spectral line
C1625m352 in a few red giants.
C1629m129 Periods, magnitudes and variability types are from Clement &
C1629m129 Shelton (1997) unless designated "Dkns" in the remarks column
C1629m129 (see V2, V3, V5, V11, V13, V16). For these stars, this
C1629m129 information is from Dickens (1970).
C1629m129 The RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009) unless indicated otherwise
C1629m129 in the Notes on individual stars.
C1629m129 Cudworth et al. (1992) derived membership probabilities for some of the
C1629m129 RR Lyrae variables in NGC 6171 from a proper motion study.
C1636m283 Bica et al. (1999, A&A Supp 136, 363) published
C1636m283 a VI color-magnitude diagram and confirmed
C1636m283 that this object is a poorly populated globular
C1636m283 cluster wth evidence of depletion at the lower
C1636m283 main sequence. The morphology of the HB is
C1636m283 "not purely red".
C1636m283 More recently, Cornish et al. (2006, AJ 131, 2543)
C1636m283 published a VI CMD and found the features were
C1636m283 consistent with the Bica et al. diagram.
C1639p365 A major paper on the variables in M13 was written by
C1639p365 Kopacki et al. (2003, A&A 398, 541). They investigated
C1639p365 all of the variables numbered up to V45, with the exception of
C1639p365 V14, 16, 20, 32 and 33 which were not in their field of view.
C1639p365 These authors also published RA and dec (J2000) and
C1639p365 an ID chart for the variable stars in their investigation.
C1639p365 The positions, periods, magnitudes, amplitudes and classifications
C1639p365 for V1-45 in the above table are from the Kopacki et al. paper
C1639p365 unless indicated otherwise in the Notes.
C1639p365 A designation "Os" in the Notes/Remarks column indicates that the
C1639p365 periods, magnitudes, amplitudes and classifications are from a paper
C1639p365 by Osborn et al. (2017). Their paper deals with the long period
C1639p365 variables in M13, i.e. the variables classified as type SR and L.
C1639p365 The data for the remaining variables are from the discovery papers
C1639p365 unless indicated otherwise in the Notes.
C1639p365 Cudworth & Monet (1979) and Cudworth (1979) derived membership
C1639p365 probabilities for stars in M13.
C1644m018 V1: Period, magnitude, amplitude and classification for V1
C1644m018 from Clement et al. (1988) The RA and dec are from Samus
C1644m018 et al. (2009).
C1644m018 V2: All the data for vB1 are from the paper by von Braun et al.
C1644m018 (2002)
C1645p476 The data in the above table are all from Arellano Ferro et al. (2015) -
C1645p476 except for the stars classified as "CST". For these stars, "Sam" in
C1645p476 the remarks column indicates that the RA and dec are from Samus et al.
C1645p476 (2009).
C1650m220 The periods, amplitudes and classifications for V1-5 are from Liller's
C1650m220 (1977) photographic investigation and the B magnitudes are derived from
C1650m220 Liller's (1980) revised calibration of the magnitudes.
C1650m220 The RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1650m220 Howland et al. (2003) published a CCD CM diagram which showed a
C1650m220 predominantly blue HB. They pointed out that the cluster is in the
C1650m220 Ophiuchus-Scorpius region and therefore subject to differential reddening.
C1654m040
C1654m040 The RA and dec for V1-4 are from Samus et al. (2009)
C1656m370 NGC 6256 is a heavily reddened core-collapsed cluster in the Galactic
C1656m370 bulge. A VI CM diagram by Ortolani et al. (1999) shows an extended blue
C1656m370 HB with no evidence for a red HB. Their diagram does not extend faint
C1656m370 enough to define a blue straggler region.
C1656m370 Stephens & Frogel (2004) estimated [Fe/H] = -1.35 +/- 0.09 from a
C1656m370 spectroscopic study of 5 giant stars.
C1656m370 The data for V1 are from the discovery paper by Matsunaga et al. (2006).
C1657m004 A variable star search of Pal 15 was carried out by Kinman & Rosino (1962).
C1657m004 In their paper, the cluster was referred to as "Anon".
C1657m004 They searched 9 photographic plates which had a limiting magnitude of
C1657m004 m_pg=22 mag. No variables were found.
C1657m004 A CM diagram by Harris (1991) based on CFHT data shows a blue HB and a
C1657m004 significant number of blue stragglers. This result was later confirmed
C1657m004 by Dotter et al. (2011) who used HST data.
C1658m300 Contreras (October 2013 - private communication) has pointed out that
C1658m300 there are some problems with the coordinates published in their paper
C1658m300 (Contreras et al. 2010). They intend to publish an erratum soon.
C1658m300 The data listed for V1-262 in the above table are from Contreras et al.
C1658m300 (2010) unless the stars are indicated by "vA" in the Notes/Remarks
C1658m300 column.
C1658m300 The "vA" stars were outside the fields that Contreras et al. analysed.
C1658m300 Their periods and classification types are from van Agt & Oosterhoff
C1658m300 (1959), and their magnitudes and amplitudes are from Sawyer Hogg's
C1658m300 3rd (1973) catalogue. She received the data from van Agt (1971,
C1658m300 Private Communication).
C1658m300 The RA and Dec listed for the "vA" variables are the values published
C1658m300 by Samus et al. (2009). Some of the variables investigated by van Agt &
C1658m300 Oosterhoff are beyond the tidal radius (8.97 arcmin, listed by Harris in
C1658m300 the 2003 edition of his on-line catalog) and these are indicated as
C1658m300 possible field stars (f?).
C1658m300 A serious problem in investigations of M62 is the differential reddening
C1658m300 across the field. However, Contreras et al. (2010) have addressed this
C1658m300 problem by deriving the colour excess E(B-V) for the RR Lyrae variables
C1658m300 by measuring their (B-V) colour at minimum light.
C1659m262 All of the RA and dec in the above table are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1659m262 The remaining data are from Clement and Sawyer Hogg (1978).
C1701m246 The RA and dec listed in the above table are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1701m246 Samus et al. also noted that V10 and V11 are V2121 and V2123 Oph.
C1701m246 The remaining data were taken from Clement et al. (1980)
C1701m246 A BV color-magnitude diagram by Piotto et al. (2002) indicates a
C1701m246 pronounced blue HB which is a characteristic of globular clusters that
C1701m246 have type II Cepheids (CW stars). Clusters with Mira variables
C1701m246 generally have red HBs. Also, based on the frequency distribution of
C1701m246 Miras in the surrounding field, it is unlikely that either of the Mira
C1701m246 variables, V10 or V12, are cluster members.
C1702m226 The RA and dec in the above table are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1702m226 All of the other data are taken from Stetson & West (1994).
C1702m226 This cluster lies in the Galactic plane and is subject to considerable
C1702m226 differential reddening.
C1702m226 HST CM diagrams by Fulton et al. (1999) and by Lee et al. (2001)
C1702m226 show a predominantly blue HB and a blue straggler sequence.
C1707m265 The RA and dec for all the variables are from Samus et al. (2009). The last
C1707m265 four variables in the above table were assigned the numbers V9-12 in the
C1707m265 Samus et al. catalogue.
C1707m265 The remaining data in the above table were taken from Clement et al. (1982).
C1707m265 Clement et al. concluded that the Mira variables were not cluster members
C1707m265 on the basis of the cluster's low metallicity and the frequency distribution
C1707m265 of Mira variables in the surrounding field.
C1707m265 A BV color-magnitude diagram by Piotto et al. (2002) indicates a
C1707m265 pronounced blue HB. Clusters with Mira variables generally have red HBs.
C1707m265 Thus it is unlikely that the Mira variables are cluster members.
C1707m265 Discovery of the variable stars in NGC 6293:
C1711m294 The cluster NGC 6304 is a metal rich cluster located in a rich field
C1711m294 in the galactic bulge.
C1711m294 The first investigations of variable stars were by Rosino (1962) and
C1711m294 Terzan (1966, 1968), but no periods were derived by either of these
C1711m294 authors.
C1711m294 A later study of the variables in NGC 6304 and the surrounding
C1711m294 field was by Hartwick et al. (1981). They derived periods for the 40
C1711m294 RR Lyrae stars in their field and identified a number of other suspected
C1711m294 variables, many of which they classified as long period variables.
C1711m294 It is generally assumed that most of the variables belong to the field
C1711m294 around NGC 6304 and not to the cluster itself.
C1711m294 De Lee et al. (2006) carried out a new study of the RR Lyrae variables
C1711m294 to investigate the possibility that some of them might be cluster
C1711m294 members in light of the discovery of long period RR Lyrae variables
C1711m294 in the metal rich clusters NGC 6388 and NGC 6441. They estimated the
C1711m294 membership status based on distance from the cluster, mean
C1711m294 magnitude and reddening.
C1711m294 The membership status listed for the RR Lyrae variables is based on
C1711m294 their study.
C1711m294 For RR Lyrae stars with V magnitudes listed in the above table, the
C1711m294 periods, magnitudes and amplitudes are from the OGLE III catalogue
C1711m294 (Sosyzynski et al. 2011).
C1711m294 The periods, classifications and membership status for V5-6, V8-9 and
C1711m294 V11-21 are from Hartwick et al. (1981).
C1711m294 The RA and dec in the above table for V1-21 are from Samus et al. (2009)
C1711m294 and for V22-24 from (Sosyzynski et al. 2011).
C1713m280 The periods, magnitudes, amplitudes, classifications, and membership
C1713m280 status are from the discovery paper by Layden et al. (2003).
C1713m280 The RA and dec for the four variables V14, V15, V18, V19 are from the GCVS
C1713m280 where they are listed as V2719 Oph, V2721 Oph, V2718 Oph and V2720 Oph
C1713m280 respectively.
C1713m280 For the remaining variables, the RA and dec are from matches
C1713m280 with 2MASS sources. Initially, provisional values were calculated from
C1713m280 relationships derived by Layden et al. (2003):
C1713m280 Delta RA = -0.396*(X_pix - 1059); Delta dec = -0.396*(Y_pix - 993).
C1713m280 For these calculations, the cluster centre was assumed to be 17:16:37.3,
C1713m280 -28:08:24.4, the value published in the 2010 version of the Harris (1996)
C1713m280 catalogue. The provisional coordinates and the 2MASS coordinates
C1713m280 agreed to within 1 arcsec for all the variables except V11 for which the
C1713m280 difference was 3 arcsec.
C1714m237 This cluster is embedded in a crowded field in the Galactic bulge.
C1714m237 According to the 2010 version of the Harris (1996) catalogue, it is a
C1714m237 core collapsed cluster with [Fe/H] = -1.25.
C1714m237 BVI photometry by Ortolani et al. (2003) shows a prominent blue HB
C1714m237 with evidence for a blue tail.
C1714m237 The data for V1 and 2 are from the discovery paper by Matsunaga et al.
C1714m237 (2006).
C1715p432 A good summary of investigations of the variable stars in M92 was given
C1715p432 by Kopacki (2001).
C1715p432 V1-32
C1715p432 The RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1715p432 The periods, magnitudes, amplitudes and classifications are from Kopacki
C1715p432 (2001) unless indicated otherwise in the notes on individual stars.
C1715p432 V14 and V16 were outside his field of view.
C1715p432 V33-39
C1715p432 All the data are from Kopacki (2007).
C1716m184 The most comprehensive study of the variables in M9 is a paper by
C1716m184 Arellano Ferro et al. (2013). All of the material in the above table is
C1716m184 from their study unless indicated otherwise in the notes.
C1716m184 A serious problem in deriving the magnitudes and colours of the stars
C1716m184 in M9 is that the cluster is subject to differential reddening. There is
C1716m184 a heavy obscuring cloud to the southwest of the cluster. This can be
C1716m184 detected on the photograph published by Clement et al. (1984) and is
C1716m184 even more marked on the E and O plates of the Palomar Sky Survey.
C1716m184 Arellano et al. (2013) used a reddening map by Alonso-Garcia et al.
C1716m184 (2012) to correct for this effect.
C1716m184 V3, V7, V12 and V13 appear in the Moscow GCVS as V1864, V1845, V1840 and
C1716m184 V2208 Oph respectively.
C1718m195 A CM diagram based on VI photometry by Heitsch & Richtler (1999) shows
C1718m195 a pronounced red HB.
C1718m195 According to the 2010 version of the Harris (1996) catalogue, NGC 6342
C1718m195 is a core collapsed cluster with [Fe/H] = -0.55.
C1718m195 A binary radio pulsar PSR B1718-19 was discovered in the field of
C1718m195 NGC 6342 by Lyne et al. (1993). It has an unusally long period (1 sec)
C1718m195 for a binary pulsar associated with a globular cluster. (Pulsars in
C1718m195 binary systems in globular clusters are usually millisecond pulsars.)
C1718m195 van Kerkwijk et al. (2000) and Janssen & van Kerkwijk (2005) discussed
C1718m195 scenarios for the formation of such a system. Their preferred
C1718m195 explanation is that the system formed when a dormant pulsar in the
C1718m195 cluster core had an interaction with a binary.
C1720m177 The RA and dec for the variables are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1720m177 V1-6: Periods, magnitudes, amplitudes, variability types for V1-6
C1720m177 are from Clement & Sawyer Hogg (1977)
C1720m177
C1720m177 Membership status for V3 is based on a radial velocity study by
C1720m177 Feast (1972). Possible field status for V4 is from Lloyd Evans
C1720m177 & Menzies (1973) and for V6 from Clement & Sawyer Hogg (1977).
C1720m177 With a distance of 9.8 arcmin from the cluster centre, V6 is
C1720m177 outside the tidal radius of 9.3 arcmin (Harris 1996 - 2010
C1720m177 update).
C1720m177 V7-10: Magnitudes and amplitudes for V7-10 are from Lloyd Evans
C1720m177 & Menzies (1977). They classified these stars as red variables.
C1720m177 Since the GCVS does not use this term, we have classified them
C1720m177 as Lb.
C1720m263 NGC 6355 is embedded in a crowded field in the Galactic bulge.
C1720m263 Chen & Chen (2007) used the 2MASS Point Source Catalogue to study shapes
C1720m263 of clusters and concluded that NGC 6355 is suffering from strong tidal
C1720m263 distortion.
C1720m263 According to the 2010 version of the Harris (1996) catalogue, NGC 6355
C1720m263 is a core collapsed cluster with [Fe/H] = -1.37.
C1720m263 Soszynski et al. (2014) listed a radius of 2.1 arcminutes for NGC 6355
C1720m263 and the variable stars are all well within that boundary.
C1720m263 BVI photometry was published by Ortolani et al. (2003). Their CM diagram
C1720m263 shows a prominent blue HB.
C1721m484 The RA and dec listed above are from Samus et al (2009).
C1721m484 CM diagrams by Hartwick & Hesser (1972) and by Fullton et al. (1995)
C1721m484 show a red HB and a blue straggler sequence.
C1724m070 We assigned the "IAU nomenclature" name for this cluster on the basis
C1724m070 of its 1950 position.
C1724m070 IC 1257 has only been recognized as a Galactic globular cluster
C1724m070 since Harris et al. (1997) published a CM diagram which reveals that it
C1724m070 is a highly reddened luster well beyond the Galactic centre.
C1724m070 The diagram shows a well defined blue HB, but the observations do not
C1724m070 extend faint enough to show the subgiant region or main sequence turnoff.
C1725m050 The RA and dec for V1 and V2 are from Lloyd et al. (2008).
C1725m050 The RA and dec for V3-8 were derived by Arellano Ferro (2014 -
C1725m050 private communication) by locating their images in the ALADIN sky
C1725m050 atlas. The remaining data for V3-8 are from Arellano Ferro et al.
C1725m050 (2008).
C1726m670 The periods, magnitudes, amplitudes and classifications for V1-37
C1726m670 are from Olech et al. (2001) and for V38-52 are from Mazur et al.
C1726m670 (1999). The non-membership status of the EC variables V43, 45 and 52
C1726m670 was confirmed by Rucinski (2000).
C1726m670 The RA and dec for most of V1-52 are from Samus et al. (2009); the
C1726m670 exceptions are V11, 23, 24, 26, 28, 29, 32 and 38-41 which are from
C1726m670 Mazur et al. (1999).
C1727m299 A VI colour-magnitude diagram by Ortolani et al. (1997) shows an
C1727m299 extended blue HB. Barbuy et al. (2016) derived [Fe/H] = -1.06.
C1727m299 The RA and dec for V1 to 15 were derived by Samus et al. (2009) who
C1727m299 considered them all to be field stars.
C1727m299 They are all listed in the Moscow NSV catalogue and their NSV numbers
C1727m299 are indicated in the remarks column of the above table.
C1727m299 The data for V16 and 17 are from the discovery paper by Matsunaga et al.
C1727m299 (2006).
C1727m315 Terzan 4 is a heavily reddened cluster in a rich field in the Galactic
C1727m315 bulge. Valenti et al. (2010) published a near infra-red CM diagram
C1727m315 (K, J-K) which is heavily contaminated by stars in the surrounding metal
C1727m315 rich field population. When looking at stars within 40 arcsec of the
C1727m315 cluster centre, they detected a blue HB.
C1727m315 They used their data to derive a photometric [Fe/H] = -1.58, in good
C1727m315 agreement with the [Fe/H]=-1.6 published by Stephans & Frogel (2004) and
C1727m315 by Origlia & Rich (2004) from studies based on high-resolution IR
C1727m315 spectroscopy.
C1730m333 This cluster, located in the error box of the X-ray burster MXB 1730-33,
C1730m333 was discovered by Liller (1977) on deep plates taken in the near IR with
C1730m333 the CTIO 4 metre telescope.
C1730m333 It was subsequently found by Tam et al. (2011) to be a Gamma-ray
C1730m333 emitting cluster
C1730m333 An infrared colour magnitude diagram by Ortolani et al. (2001) showed
C1730m333 a red HB morphology, characteristic of a metal rich population and
C1730m333 Origlia et al (2002) derived [Fe/H] = -0.3, based on H-band echelle
C1730m333 spectra of two of the brightest giant stars in the cluster.
C1730m333 Thus it is unlikely that there will be any RR Lyrae or Cepheid
C1730m333 variables. The cluster lies in a heavily reddened field near the
C1730m333 Galactic centre with V(HB) = 24.84 according to the 2010 version of
C1730m333 the Harris (1996) catalogue. Blue stragglers would be too faint to
C1730m333 be detected.
C1731m390 NGC 6380 is a metal rich bulge cluster. According to the 2010 version
C1731m390 of the Harris (1996) catalogue, it has [Fe/H] = -0.75 and is probably a
C1731m390 core collapsed cluster.
C1731m390
C1731m390 VI photometry by Ortolani et al. (1998) showed a red HB morphology.
C1731m390 Thus it is unlikely that there will be any RR Lyrae or Cepheid
C1731m390 variables. The existing photometry does not extend to a faint enough
C1731m390 level to delineate a blue straggler region.
C1731m390 Discovery of the variable star in NGC 6380:
C1731m390 V1
C1731m390 Fourcade et al. (1966) with x,y coordinates and an ID chart
C1731m390 The RA and dec for V1 were drived by Samus et al. (2009).
C1731m390 No further data are available for this star.
C1732m304 Terzan 1 is a highly obscured cluster in the Galactic bulge.
C1732m304 CM diagrams published by Ortolani et al. (1999) and by Valenti et al.
C1732m304 (2010) show a red HB. Valenti et al (2015) derived a metal abundance,
C1732m304 [Fe/H]=-1.26.
C1732m304 *The RA and dec listed for the cluster centre are from the 2003 version
C1732m304 of the Harris (1996) catalogue. The dec Harris listed in 2010 (-30:28:11)
C1732m304 is too far north.
C1732m304 The data for the RR Lyrae variables in the above table are from the
C1732m304 OGLE IV investigation by Soszynski et al. (2014). In the above table,
C1732m304 the only OGLE variables listed are the ones that are located less
C1732m304 than 1.4 arcminutes from the cluster centre. Soszynski et al. (2014)
C1732m304 listed a radius of 1.2 arcminutes for the cluster. The Note below for
C1732m304 V14 explains why the threshold has been set at 1.4 arcminutes.
C1732m304 V1, V2 and V3 are also located within 1.4 arcminutes of the cluster
C1732m304 centre, but V4 is more distant (1.83 arcmin). The RA and dec for V1-4
C1732m304 are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1732m447 NGC 6388 is a massive Galactic bulge cluster with [Fe/H]= -0.55
C1732m447 according to the 2010 version of the Harris (1996) catalogue. Pritzl et
C1732m447 al. (2002) discovered that it had a significant number of RR Lyrae
C1732m447 variables with relatively long periods, an unexpected result for such a
C1732m447 metal rich cluster. NGC 6388 shares these properties with NGC 6441.
C1732m447 Bellini et al. (2013) have examined the CM diagrams for both clusters
C1732m447 and provided evidence that both clusters host at least two stellar
C1732m447 populations.
C1732m447 The RA and dec in the above table are from the following sources
C1732m447 V1-26 and V28 from Samus et al. (2009).
C1732m447 V70-121 and the variables indicated by "Sk" in the remarks column
C1732m447 from Skottfelt et al. (2015).
C1732m447 For the remaining variables, the RA and dec were derived from the Delta RA
C1732m447 and Delta dec coordinates published by Pritzl et al. (2002) or by Corwin
C1732m447 et al. (2006). For these calculations, it was assumed that the position
C1732m447 of the cluster centre was RA=17:36:17.15 and dec=-44:44:06.9. These
C1732m447 coordinates for the cluster centre yielded RA and dec in agreement with
C1732m447 the values that Samus et al. derived for V1-26 and matched with the
C1732m447 2MASS catalogue.
C1732m447 The remaining data for V1-73 in the above table are from Pritzl et al.
C1732m447 (2002) unless designated LM, Sl, HH, Corw or Sk in the remarks column,
C1732m447 in which case they are from Lloyd Evans & Menzies (1977), Sloan et al.
C1732m447 (2010), Hazen & Hesser (1986), Corwin et al. (2006) or Skottfelt et al.
C1732m447 (2015).
C1732m447 Most of the "HH" variables are considered to be field variables because
C1732m447 they are outside the tidal radius which is 6.75 arcmin according to the
C1732m447 2010 version of the Harris (1996) catalogue.
C1732m447 All the data for V74-V121 are from the discovery paper by Skottfelt et
C1732m447 al. (2015).
C1733m390 VI photometry by Bica et al. (1996) shows the colour-magnitude diagram
C1733m390 has a red HB and indicates that the cluster is metal rich, [Fe/H] = ~-0.6.
C1733m390 Their photometry extended to the main sequece turn-off region and showed
C1733m390 a blue straggler population. However, they did not carry out a variable
C1733m390 star search and did not discuss the known variable stars.
C1735m032 There are two major papers summarizing the properties of the variables
C1735m032 in M14: Wehlau & Froelich (1994) and Conroy et al. (2012).
C1735m032 Another major study is currently being undertaken by Contreras Pena and
C1735m032 collaborators who published a BV color-magnitude diagram (Contreras Pena
C1735m032 et al. 2013).
C1735m032 Wehlau & Froelich provided a good summary of variables V1-93. They
C1735m032 published ID charts for all except V28 which was outside the field of
C1735m032 their chart. In addition, they listed mean B magnitudes, (B-V) colours
C1735m032 and B amplitudes for all of the stars they classified as pulsating.
C1735m032 Their paper also included an appendix with notes on many of the
C1735m032 individual stars, including all of the catalogued variables that they
C1735m032 were unable to classify.
C1735m032 Conroy et al. applied the image subtraction technique to a set of images
C1735m032 obtained on 11 nights in June and July, 2010. They confirmed the
C1735m032 variability of 61 of the variables discussed by Wehlau & Froelich (1994)
C1735m032 and identified 71 new ones which they numbered V94-164.
C1735m032 In addition, they listed RA and dec, derived periods and plotted light
C1735m032 curves for all of the stars they found to be variable.
C1735m032 All the data for V94-V164 are from their study.
C1735m032 V1-V93:
C1735m032 In the above table, the periods and variability types for stars with
C1735m032 periods greater than a day are from Wehlau & Froelich (1994) and for
C1735m032 stars with periods less than a day they are are from Conroy et al.
C1735m032 (2012), unless indicated otherwise in the notes on individual stars.
C1735m032 The B magnitudes and amplitudes are from Wehlau & Froelich's paper
C1735m032 because Conroy et al. did not derive any magnitudes.
C1735m032 The non-variable ("CST") classifications are based on the fact that
C1735m032 Conroy et al. did not detect any variability. In most of these cases,
C1735m032 Wehlau & Froelich (1994) had already indicated that the stars might not
C1735m032 be variable.
C1735m032 The numbers designated by "C" in the remarks column refer to the
C1735m032 numbering system of Conroy et al.
C1735m032 The RA and dec for the stars investigated by Conroy are their values.
C1735m032 For the remaining stars, i.e., V27 and V28, which were outside their
C1735m032 field of view, and the stars for which Conroy et al. did not detect
C1735m032 variability, the RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1735m032 There is a systematic offset between the RA values of Samus and Conroy in
C1735m032 the sense that Samus' values are on average 0.2 seconds larger. Their
C1735m032 dec values agree to within 1 arcsec.
C1735m238 NGC 6401 is located in a rich, heavily reddened field in the Galactic bulge.
C1735m238 This is illustrated in a VI CM diagram published by Barbuy et al. (1999).
C1735m238 It is very "noisy" due to differential reddening and contamination from
C1735m238 field stars. Nevertheless, Barbuy et al. concluded that the cluster has
C1735m238 a red HB.
C1735m238 The most comprehensive investigation of the variable stars in NGC 6401
C1735m238 was by Tsapras et al. (2017) who searched for variables in a 15.8
C1735m238 by 15.8 arcminute field centred on the cluster - down to a limiting
C1735m238 magnitude of V~19.5 mag.
C1735m238 The field around the cluster was also included in the OGLE IV Galactic
C1735m238 Bulge survey. Results have been published for RR Lyrae variables
C1735m238 (Soszynski et al. 2014) and for eclipsing binaries (Soszynski et al. 2016).
C1735m238 The core radius and tidal radius listed by Harris (2010) are 0.25 and
C1735m238 12.24 arcminutes respectively.
C1735m238 However, it is unlikely that all the stars within the tidal radius are
C1735m238 cluster members.
C1735m238 In the above table, only stars within 2.4 arcminutes of the cluster
C1735m238 centre are included. This was the NGC 6401 radius listed by Soszynski
C1735m238 et al. (2014) and the radius adopted by Tsapras et al. (2017) for
C1735m238 their investigation as well.
C1735m238 V1-40:
C1735m238 The data in the above table are from Tsapras et al. (2017), unless
C1735m238 indicated otherwise in the notes on individual stars.
C1735m238 Most of these stars were also included in the OGLE IV survey.
C1735m238 Tsapras et al. (2017) listed the OGLE numbers in their tables.
C1735m238 V41-54:
C1735m238 All of these stars are eclipsing binaries and the data are from
C1735m238 the OGLE IV survey (Soszynski et al. 2016). In stars for which two
C1735m238 eclipses were observed, the amplitudes refer to the primary eclipses.
C1736m536 NGC 6397 is a core-collapsed globular cluster with at least 79 Chandra
C1736m536 X-ray sources within its half-mass radius. These sources are the
C1736m536 subject of numerous investigations.
C1736m536 Variability in the optical counterparts of some of these sources has
C1736m536 been detected (e.g. V12, V13, V16, V33, V34 in the above table), but
C1736m536 investigations continue and more variables may be identified in future.
C1736m536 In the above table, the RA and dec are from the following sources:
C1736m536 V1 (V639 Ara) and V2 (V825 Ara) from (Samus et al. (2009)
C1736m536 V3-V11 (Kaluzny 1997)
C1736m536 V12-V24 (Kaluzny & Thompson 2003)
C1736m536 V25-V36 (Kaluzny et al. 2006).
C1736m536 The remaining data for V3-36 are from Kaluzny et al. (2006) unless
C1736m536 indicated otherwise in the Notes/Remarks column where
C1736m536 K97 refers to Kaluzny (1997) and
C1736m536 KT refers to Kaluzny & Thompson (2003).
C1740m262 VI photometry by Ortolani et al. (1995) and JHK photometry by
C1740m262 Lee & Carney (2002) show the clear presence of a red horizontal branch.
C1740m262 The photometry does not extend deep enough to establish the existence of
C1740m262 a blue straggler sequence.
C1740m262 The metal abundance of Pal 6 is uncertain because the cluster lies in
C1740m262 a crowded metal rich star field near the Galactic Centre and field
C1740m262 contamination is a problem. The best estimates are based on infrared
C1740m262 spectroscopy of its brightest stars.
C1740m262 Stephens & Frogel (2004) derived [Fe/H]=-0.52 +/- 0.11 from medium
C1740m262 resolution K-band spectroscopy of 5 stars.
C1740m262 Lee et al. (2004) derived [Fe/H]=-1.0 +/- 0.1 from 3 stars based on
C1740m262 high resolution infrared echelle spectroscopy. They derived radial
C1740m262 velocities to ensure that the stars in their sample were cluster
C1740m262 members.
C1740m262 Terzan (1966) discovered 28 variables in the field around the cluster.
C1740m262 He informed Sawyer Hogg (1973) that none is a probable cluster member.
C1740m262 Sloan et al. (2010) announced a Mira variable with P=566 days at
C1740m262 RA =17:43:49.48, dec = -26:15:27.9 (2000), a distance of 2.67 arcmin from
C1740m262 the cluster centre, well within the tidal radius, which is 8.3 arcmin
C1740m262 according to the 2010 update to the Harris (1996) catalogue. However,
C1740m262 based on its observed K magnitude and circumstellar extinction, they
C1740m262 concluded that the Mira variable must be a foreground object and not
C1740m262 a cluster member.
C1740m262 Lynch & Ransom (2011) conducted a search for pulsars, but did not find
C1740m262 any in Palomar 6.
C1742p031 The RA and dec in the above table are from Samus et al. (2009)
C1742p031 The remaining data are from Papadakis et al. (2000) unless indicated
C1742p031 otherwise in the Notes/Remarks column where "Gru" refers to Grubissich
C1742p031 (1958).
C1744m330 This cluster lies in a crowded field near the Galactic centre.
C1744m330 A near IR (K, J-K) CM diagram was published by Valenti et al. (2010)
C1744m330 who estimated [Fe/H] = -1.51, based on the slope of the RGB.
C1744m330 The CM diagram indicated an HB red clump in the general field around
C1744m330 the cluster, but when only stars less than 20 arcsec from the cluster
C1744m330 centre were included, it disappeared. Thus the red clump is probably
C1744m330 due to field contamination.
C1745m247 The RA and dec for V1 and V2 are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1745m247 The remaining data for V1 are from Spinrad et al. (1974) and
C1745m247 for V2, they are from Sloan et al. (2010).
C1745m247 For V3-4 and V5-9, all the data are from the discovery papers:
C1745m247 Edmonds et al. (2001) and Sloan et al. (2010) respectively.
C1745m247 Origlia et al. (2011) showed that Terzan 5 has two stellar
C1745m247 populations with distinct iron abundances. Because the chemical
C1745m247 abundance patterns are unique, they propose that Terzan 5 is not a
C1745m247 true globular cluster, but a stellar system with a much more complex
C1745m247 history of star formation and chemical enrichment. The nature of the
C1745m247 Terzan 5 stellar system is a subject that continues to be discussed
C1745m247 in the literature.
C1745m247 Terzan 5 has more millisecond pulsars than any other globular cluster.
C1746m203 NGC 6440 is a heavily reddened metal rich cluster near the Galactic
C1746m203 centre. According to the 2010 update to the Harris (1996) catalogue,
C1746m203 it has [Fe/H] = -0.36 and a CM diagram by Piotto et al. (2002) based on
C1746m203 BV HST observations shows a prominent red HB. The CMD does not extend
C1746m203 as faint as the main sequence turnoff and has too much scatter to make
C1746m203 it possible to discern a blue straggler sequence.
C1746m203 Using Chandra observations, Pooley et al. (2002) found 24 X-ray sources
C1746m203 within the cluster half-mass radius and these have been discussed in
C1746m203 subsequent papers. Some of them may be LMXBs and others are probably
C1746m203 cataclysmic variables.
C1746m203 According to Paulo Freire's website, there are 6 millisecond pulsars in
C1746m203 NGC 6440. (www.naic.edu/~pfreire/GCpsr.html)
C1746m370 NGC 6441 is a massive metal rich cluster that is located in a rich
C1746m370 field in the Galactic bulge. Its [Fe/H]= -0.46 according to the 2010
C1746m370 version of the Harris (1996) catalogue.
C1746m370 Layden et al. (1999) and Pritzl et al. (2001) discovered that it had a
C1746m370 significant number of RR Lyrae variables with relatively long periods,
C1746m370 an unexpected result for such a metal rich cluster. NGC 6441 shares
C1746m370 these properties with NGC 6388.
C1746m370 Bellini et al. (2013) have examined the CM diagrams for both clusters
C1746m370 and provided evidence that both clusters host at least two stellar
C1746m370 populations.
C1746m370 The RA and dec in the above table are from the following sources:
C1746m370 V1-V104 from Samus et al. (2009),
C1746m370 V105 to V145 from Pritzl et al. (2003),
C1746m370 V146-V150 from Corwin et al. (2006) and
C1746m370 V151-V199 from Skottfelt et al. (2015).
C1746m370 The remaining data are from the following sources:
C1746m370 V1-V36 from Layden et al. (1999),
C1746m370 V37-V104 from Pritzl et al. (2001)
C1746m370 V105-V148 from Pritzl et al. (2003)
C1746m370 V151-V199 from Skottfelt et al. (2015)
C1746m370 unless indicated otherwise in the Notes/Remarks column.
C1746m370 "Ogle" in the Remarks column indicates that the period, magnitude,
C1746m370 amplitude and classification are from the Ogle III Catalog of Long
C1746m370 Period variables in the Galactic Bulge by Soszynski et al. (2013).
C1746m370 The Ogle observations provided better coverage for long period
C1746m370 variables than the other studies so they are included when available.
C1746m370 Soszynski et al. (2011) also published a catalog of RR Lyrae
C1746m370 variables in the Galactic Bulge which includes some of the RR Lyrae
C1746m370 variables in NGC 6441, but their data have not been included here.
C1746m370 V47, V48, V49, V50, V68 are listed in the Moscow GCVS as V1168, V1170,
C1746m370 V1169, V1167 and V1166 Sco respectively.
C1747m312 Terzan 6 is a heavily reddened cluster in the inner bulge region.
C1747m312 According to the 2010 update to the Harris (1996) catalogue, Terzan 6 is
C1747m312 a core-collapsed cluster. A near infrared [K,J-K] CM diagram by Valenti
C1747m312 et al. (2007) shows a red HB. From their data, they derived a
C1747m312 photometric [Fe/H] = -0.62.
C1747m312 According to Bahramian et al. (2016), GRS 1747-312 is a low mass X-ray
C1747m312 binary in Terzan 6.
C1748m346 This cluster is located in a rich field in the Galactic bulge.
C1748m346 A VI CM diagram by Ortolani et al. (1999) shows a blue HB.
C1748m346 A JK CM diagram by Valenti et al. (2010) shows a blue steep RGB
C1748m346 with no evidence of a red HB, indicating a low-intermediate metallicity.
C1748m346 Harris (1996) listed [Fe/H] = -1.50 in the 2010 update of his catalogue.
C1748m346 The data for all the RR Lyrae variables listed in the above table are
C1748m346 from the OGLE IV database (Soszynski et al. 2014). These are the only
C1748m346 RR Lyrae variables located within 3.8 arcminutes of the cluster centre,
C1748m346 the radius they listed for the cluster. They estimated that 2 of them
C1748m346 might be field stars, and based on the mean magnitudes, it appears that
C1748m346 V3 and V10 are field stars.
C1748m346 The data for the RV Tauri variables are from the OGLE III catalogue
C1748m346 (Soszynski et al. 2011b).
C1748m346 Fourcade et al. (1966) observed NGC 6453 to search for variables, but
C1748m346 did not find any.
C1751m241 UKS 1 is a faint globular cluster in the bulge.
C1751m241 Origlia et al. (2005) derived [Fe/H] = -0.78 from near-infrared
C1751m241 photometry and high resolution spectroscopy.
C1751m241 Using HST/NICMOS and NTT/SOFI infrared photometry, Ortolani et al. (2007)
C1751m241 derived a distance that indicated that UKS1 is beyond the Galactic
C1751m241 centre.
C1751m241 UKS2 = BH 66 = ESO 166-SC11 (RA = 09:25.3, Dec = -54:53, J2000) was
C1751m241 long thought to be a globular cluster. However, Bica et al. (2000)
C1751m241 showed that UKS 2 is an open cluster with age comparable to that of
C1751m241 the Hyades.
C1755m442 The data in the above table are from the discovery paper by Abbas et al.
C1755m442 (2015).
C1755m442 CM diagrams published by Fraga et al. (2013) and Abbas et al. (2015)
C1755m442 show a prominent red clump on the horizontal branch, characteristic of a
C1755m442 metal rich cluster. No RR Lyrae variables have been discovered.
C1758m268 Terzan 9 is a heavily reddened cluster in a rich field in the inner
C1758m268 bulge.
C1758m268 A near infrared [K,J-K] CM diagram by Valenti et al. (2007) shows that
C1758m268 the innermost cluster region (r less than 30 arcsec) is characterized
C1758m268 by a narrow RGB and a blue HB. From their data, they derived a
C1758m268 photometric [Fe/H] = -1.21.
C1758m268 Lynch & Ransom (2011) conducted a search for pulsars, but did not find
C1758m268 any in Terzan 9.
C1758m278 The "IAU nomenclature" name for this cluster was assigned by Clement
C1758m278 et al. (2001) based on its 1950 position.
C1758m278 This cluster lies in a crowded field near the Galactic centre.
C1758m278 Valenti et al. (2010) published a near IR (K, J-K) CM diagram and
C1758m278 estimated [Fe/H] = -0.65, based on the slope of the RGB. Harris (1996)
C1758m278 listed V(HB)=17.60 in the 2010 update to his catalogue. He estimated
C1758m278 this value from the paper by Valenti et al.
C1758m278 The data for all the variables listed in the above table are from
C1758m278 Soszynski et al. (2014). These stars are all located within 2
C1758m278 arcminutes of the cluster centre, well within the tidal radius,
C1758m278 10.5 arcminutes, according to the 2010 update to the Harris (1996)
C1758m278 catalogue. Harris listed half-light radius = 0.83 arcminutes.
C1758m278 These 7 variables have mean <V>= 17.954 according to Soszynski et al.
C1758m278 (2014). In view of the uncertainties involved in Harris's estimate
C1758m278 of V(HB), it is reasonable to assume that they belong to the cluster.
C1759m089 A VI CM diagram by Kavelaars et al. (1995) shows a blue HB and a number
C1759m089 of stars that could be blue stragglers. The cluster is [Fe/H]=-1.49
C1759m089 according to the 2010 update to the Harris (1996) catalogue.
C1759m089 Paulo Freire's website, (www.naic.edu/~pfreire/GCpsr.html) lists four
C1759m089 millisecond pulsars in NGC 6517. According to Lynch et al. (2011),
C1759m089 three of them are isolated and PSR J1801-0857B is in a binary system
C1759m089 with P=59.8 days.
C1800m260 Terzan 10 is a heavily reddened cluster in the Galactic bulge.
C1800m260 * The RA and dec listed for the cluster centre are from the 2003
C1800m260 version of the Harris (1996) catalogue. According to Alonso-Garcia
C1800m260 et al. (2015), they are more accurate than the values Harris listed
C1800m260 in 2010.
C1800m260 Alonso-Garcia et al. (2015) published a K,J-K CM diagram but found that
C1800m260 it was difficult to disentangle cluster stars from stars in the Galactic
C1800m260 disk and bulge. Contamination by these field stars is significant, even
C1800m260 at distances smaller than the half light radius (1.55 arcminutes).
C1800m260 The data for V1-48 are from the discovery paper by Alonso-Garcia et al.
C1800m260 (2015). These are the variables that lie within the tidal radius, 5.06
C1800m260 arcminutes, but many of them are probably field stars.
C1800m260 In fact, Alonso-Garcia et al. concluded that the vast majority of the
C1800m260 unclassified variables are disk field variables, based on their
C1800m260 positions in the CM diagram.
C1800m300 The field around NGC 6522 was observed by Baade (1946, 1951) in his
C1800m300 investigations to characterize the nature of the nucleus of the Milky
C1800m300 Way galaxy and to determine its distance from the Sun. He used the
C1800m300 Mount Wilson 100-inch telescope to study the field within 16 arcminutes
C1800m300 of the cluster and discovered 285 variable stars. Their elements were
C1800m300 later published by Gaposchkin (1955).
C1800m300 This field is now known as "Baade's window" because it is an area with
C1800m300 relatively low absorption near the Galactic centre and has been the
C1800m300 subject of many studies.
C1800m300 NGC 6522 is a core collapsed cluster with 0.05 arcminute core radius,
C1800m300 1.0 arcminute half-light radius and [Fe/H] = -1.34 according to the
C1800m300 2010 update to the Harris (1996) catalogue. Soszynski et al. (2011a)
C1800m300 listed a cluster radius of 4.7 arcminutes.
C1800m300 Since the cluster is located in a very rich field, only variables that
C1800m300 lie less than 2 arcminutes of the cluster centre have been included
C1800m300 in the above table. Some of these (e.g. V6) are probably field stars,
C1800m300 while some stars beyond 2 arcminutes might be cluster members.
C1800m300 A proper motion study by Terndrup et al. (1998) showed that most stars
C1800m300 up to 2.2 arcminutes from the cluster centre are probable members.
C1800m300 However, some stars less than 1 arcminute from the centre may belong to
C1800m300 the field.
C1800m300 The data for the RR Lyrae variables are from the Ogle IV survey
C1800m300 (Soszynski et al. 2014) where
C1800m300 V1 = OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-12073
C1800m300 V2 = OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-12117
C1800m300 V3 = OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-12127
C1800m300 V4 = OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-12132
C1800m300 V5 = OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-12154
C1800m300 V9 = OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-12099 = V1438 Sgr
C1800m300 V10 = OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-12115
C1800m300 V11 = OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-12114
C1800m300 V12 = OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-12072 = V4113 Sgr
C1800m300 V13 = OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-12108
C1800m300 V14 = OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-33606
C1800m300 The sources for variables, V6, V7, V8, and V15 are indicated in the
C1800m300 notes on individual stars.
C1801m003 A CM diagram by Sarajedini (1994) shows a predominanty blue HB and
C1801m003 significant population of blue straggler candidates. The 2010 update to
C1801m003 the Harris (1996) catalogue lists [Fe/H] = -1.79.
C1801m003 The RA and dec for V1 and V2 are from Samus et al. (2009) and the other
C1801m003 elements are from Liller & Clement (1977). The field status for both
C1801m003 variables is based on their location in the CM diagram of Liller (1980).
C1801m003
C1801m300 NGC 6528 is a metal rich cluster that is located in a rich field in the
C1801m300 Galactic bulge. Harris (1996) lists [Fe/H] = -0.11 in the 2010 update
C1801m300 to his catalogue.
C1801m300 A CM diagram by Lagoia et al. (2014) shows a prominent red HB.
C1801m300 The data in the above table are from Skottfelt et al. (2015) unless
C1801m300 indicated "Ogle" in the Remarks column. For the Ogle stars, the
C1801m300 period, magnitude, amplitude and classification are from Soszynski
C1801m300 et al. (2013).
C1802m075 NGC 6539 is a metal rich globular cluster located in a rich, heavily
C1802m075 reddened field near the Galactic centre. According to the 2010 update
C1802m075 to the Harris (1996) catalogue, its [Fe/H]=-0.63 and a CM diagram by
C1802m075 Baker et al. (2007) shows a strong red HB clump, characteristic of a
C1802m075 metal rich cluster.
C1802m075 The data for V1-11 are from the discovery paper by Baker et al. (2007)
C1802m075 and the numbers in the remarks column are the ones that they used
C1802m075 in their paper. All of these stars are considered to be long period
C1802m075 variables. However, firm classifications could not be made because
C1802m075 the observations were limited to a span of three nights in May and
C1802m075 eight in June 1996 with a gap of 31 days between. Based on the
C1802m075 cluster's high metallicity, it is possible that some of them are Mira
C1802m075 stars.
C1802m277 NGC 6540 was thought to be an open cluster until Bica et al. (1994)
C1802m277 showed it to be a thick disk globular cluster.
C1802m277 A near IR (K, J-K) CM diagram published by Valenti et al. (2010)
C1802m277 is characterized by a steep poorly populated RGB and a blue HB
C1802m277 which was also present in the optical CMD of Bica et al. (1994).
C1802m277 They estimated [Fe/H]=-1.29, based on the slope of the RGB, a value
C1802m277 that is in agreement with [Fe/H] = -1.40 +/- 0.40 derived by Cote
C1802m277 (1999) for four stars from the equivalent of a few Fe I lines.
C1802m277 The data for the RR Lyrae variables are from the OGLE IV survey
C1802m277 (Soszynski et al. 2014).
C1804m250 A CM diagram by Cohen et al. (2014) shows a well populated blue HB with
C1804m250 an extended tail and a centrally concentrated blue straggler population.
C1804m250 The 2010 update to the Harris (1996) catalogue lists [Fe/H] = -1.40.
C1804m250 In the above table, the RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009). The
C1804m250 data for V1 are from the discovery paper by Hazen (1993).
C1804m437 CM diagrams published by Alcaino et al. (1997) and by Lee & Carney
C1804m437 (2006) show a cluster deficient in RGB stars and an extended blue HB.
C1804m437 Fiorentino et al. (2014) subsequently discovered 70 blue straggler stars
C1804m437 and detected variabiity in 12 of them.
C1804m437 The RA and dec for V1-8 were derived by Samus et al. (2009).
C1804m437 The remaining data listed for V2-8 are from Hazen (1994).
C1804m437 Hazen noted that the positions of the V3-8 so far from the cluster
C1804m437 centre made cluster membership seem unlikely. However, she also showed
C1804m437 that they all were located within the tidal radius, which at the time,
C1804m437 was considered to be approximately 32 arcminutes, so that firm
C1804m437 conclusions about their membership could not be made. Now however,
C1804m437 according to the 2010 update of the Harris (1996) catalogue, the
C1804m437 estimated tidal radius of NGC 6541 is approximately 13 arcminutes.
C1804m437 Thus it is probable that most of these variables belong to the
C1804m437 surrounding field. They are listed as field stars.
C1804m437 The data for V9-20 are from the discovery paper by Fiorentino et al.
C1804m437 (2014). The numbers that they assigned: WU1-3 and SX1-9 are indicated
C1804m437 in the remarks column.
C1804m437 The data for V21-22 are from the discovery paper by Figuera Jaimes et
C1804m437 al. (2016).
C1806m259 NGC 6553 is a metal rich cluster located in a heavily reddened
C1806m259 field near the galactic centre. According to the 2010 version of
C1806m259 the Harris (1996) catalogue, [Fe/H] = -0.18. A CM dagram by Zoccali
C1806m259 et al. (2001) shows a stubby red HB and a blue straggler star sequence.
C1806m259 In the above table, the RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1806m259 For V1-3, the periods and magnitudes and classifications are from
C1806m259 Soszynski et al. (2011).
C1806m259 The period, magnitude, amplitude and classification for V4 is from
C1806m259 Sloan et al. (2010).
C1806m259 The classifications for V5-14 are from Lloyd Evans & Menzies who
C1806m259 plotted their positions on a CM diagram. All of these variables
C1806m259 (with the exception of V11 and V12) have been detected in the VVV
C1806m259 survey (Minniti et al. 2010) but no periods have been published.
C1807m317 NGC 6558 is a relatively metal poor, core collapsed cluster in the
C1807m317 Galactic bulge. According to the 2010 version 0f the Harris (1996)
C1807m317 catalogue, it has [Fe/H] = -1.32, a tidal radius of 9.5 arcminutes,
C1807m317 and a half-light radius of 2.15 arcminutes.
C1807m317 Soszynski et al. (2014) listed the cluster radius as 2.1 arcminutes.
C1807m317 A VI CM diagram by Rich et al. (1998) shows an extended blue HB and
C1807m317 a sparsely populated RGB.
C1807m317 All of the data for the RR Lyrae variables are from the OGLE IV survey
C1807m317 (Soszynski et al. 2014) where
C1807m317 V1 = OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-14886 = BB#25 r=0.43'
C1807m317 V3 = OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-14929 = BB#30 r=1.04'
C1807m317 V4 = OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-14866 = BB#24 r=1.02'
C1807m317 V5 = OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-14867 = BB#A = V4301 Sgr r=2.26'
C1807m317 V6 = OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-14888 = BB#E2 r=0.93'
C1807m317 V8 = OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-14897 = BB#26 = V4601 Sgr r=3.09'
C1807m317 V9 = OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-14732 = BB#16 = V4595 Sgr r=5.82'
C1807m317 V13 = OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-14809 r=6.07'
C1807m317 V14 = OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-15057 r=6.01'
C1807m317 V16 = OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-14912 = BB#29 r=0.51'
C1807m317 V17 = OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-14892 r=0.32'
C1807m317 The BB numbers refer to a paper by Blanco & Blanco (1997) and
C1807m317 r refers to the distance from the cluster centre.
C1807m317 The RA and dec for the "CST?" stars V2, V7 and the "L?" variables
C1807m317 V10-12 and V15 are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1807m317 The magnitudes and amplitudes for the "L?" variables (V10-12 and V15)
C1807m317 are from Dominici et al. (1999). Neither Hazen (1996) nor Dominici
C1807m317 et al. (1999) had sufficient data to make definitive classifications
C1807m317 for these variables. None of them were listed in the OGLE III
C1807m317 (Soszynski et al. 2013) catalogue of Long Period Variables. With
C1807m317 distances of 4.0, 5.0, 5.6 and 5.5 arcminutes from the cluster centre,
C1807m317 they are all located beyond Soszynski's cluster radius, 2.1 arcminutes.
C1808m072 The RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1808m072 The periods and classifications for V1 and V3, the two Mira variables,
C1808m072 are from Sloan et al. (2010) who published K band light curves. The B
C1808m072 magnitudes and amplitudes for these stars are from Kinman & Rosino (1962).
C1808m072 The periods, magnitudes, amplitudes and variability types for V2, V4 and
C1808m072 V5 are from Kinman & Rosino (1962).
C1808m072 All of the variables are considered to be cluster members. Their
C1808m072 magnitudes are appropriate for cluster membership and they are all
C1808m072 well inside the tidal radius which is 21.6 arcmin according to the
C1808m072 2010 update to the Harris (1996) catalogue.
C1808m072 Barbuy et al. (1998) published a BV colour-magnitude diagram that
C1808m072 showed a prominent red HB, characteristic of a metal rich population.
C1808m072 Cote (1999) later derived [Fe/H] = -0.75 from the equivalent widths of
C1808m072 iron lines in 5 RG stars considered to be cluster members on the basis
C1808m072 of their radial velocities.
C1809m227 Ortolani et al. (1998) published a VI CMD which had a red HB, a
C1809m227 characteristic of a metal-rich cluster and estimated a tentative value
C1809m227 [Fe/H] = -0.5 based on the slope of the RG branch.
C1809m227 The data for V1 are from Sloan et al. (2010) who conclude that the star
C1809m227 is a cluster member.
C1810m318 The RA and dec in the above table are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1810m318 The remaining data are from Hazen-Liller (1985).
C1810m318 NGC 6569 is a massive metal-rich cluster located in the Galactic bulge.
C1810m318 A CM diagram based on BVI data by Ortolani et al. (2001) showed that the
C1810m318 HB is predominantly red, but some bluer stars may be present. They
C1810m318 plotted the positions of the variable stars on the CM diagram and found
C1810m318 that the magnitudes and colours of most of them were consistent with
C1810m318 cluster membership.
C1810m318 A subsequent study by Mauro et al. (2012), based on JK photometry
C1810m318 showed that that the cluster's HB is split into two distinct clumps
C1810m318 separated by ~0.1 mag in the K_s band.
C1810m318 A study of the RR Lyrae variables in NGC 6569 has been undertaken by
C1810m318 Kunder et al. (2015) who published a preliminary report. They
C1810m318 identified 27 RR Lyrae variables, of which 15 were new discoveries.
C1814m522 The two main studies of the variables in NGC 6584 are by Millis & Liller
C1814m522 (1980) and by Toddy et al. (2012).
C1814m522 Millis & Liller discovered variables V2-48 and carried out a photographic
C1814m522 study of V1-48.
C1814m522 Toddy et al. applied the image substraction technique to a set of images
C1814m522 obtained on 8 nights in May, June, July 2011. They discovered 26 new
C1814m522 variables (NV1-26) which have been assigned the numbers V49-74 in this
C1814m522 catalogue.
C1814m522 All of the data listed for V49-74 are from Toddy et al.
C1814m522 For V1-48, the RA, dec, periods and classifications are also from Toddy
C1814m522 et al., unless indicated otherwise in the remarks column. The 5 stars
C1814m522 indicated "M&L" were outside Toddy's field of view. For these 5 stars,
C1814m522 the RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009) and the reaming data are
C1814m522 from Millis & Liller (1980).
C1814m522 The magnitudes and amplitudes for V1-48 are from Millis & Liller.
C1814m522 V15, V24, V27, V39 are listed in the Moscow GCVS as PXTel, PU Tel, PT
C1814m522 Tel, PS Tel respectively.
C1820m303 NGC 6624 is a metal rich bulge cluster with [Fe/H] = -0.44 according to
C1820m303 the 2010 revision of the Harris (1996) catalgue. A VI CM diagram
C1820m303 published by Heasley et al. (2000) shows a prominent red HB.
C1820m303 In the above table, the RA and dec for V1-5 are from Samus et al. (2009)
C1820m303 The magnitudes, ammplitudes and classifications are from Liller & Liller
C1820m303 (1976).
C1820m303 According to the VizieR Service, V1-5 are all listed in the catalogue
C1820m303 of VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea Survey DR1 (Minniti et al. 2014).
C1820m303 but no periods have been published by the VISTA group.
C1821m249 For V1-24, the RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009). The period,
C1821m249 magnitude, amplitude, variability type and membership status are from
C1821m249 Wehlau & Butterworth (1990) unless designated W&SH or P12 in the
C1821m249 remarks column:
C1821m249 W&SH indicates that they are from Wehlau & Sawyer Hogg (1984)
C1821m249 P12 indicates that the period and classification are from Prieto
C1821m249 et al. (2012).
C1821m249 Samus et al. (2009) noted that V7=V4137 Sgr, V15=V4128 Sgr, V16=V4130 Sgr,
C1821m249 V17=V2342 Sgr and V24=V4129 Sgr.
C1821m249 All the data for V25-V33 are from the discovery paper by Prieto et al.
C1821m249 (2012). The numbers that these authors assigned to these stars, NV1-9
C1821m249 are indicated in the remarks column.
C1821m249 A VI CM diagram by Testa et al. (2001) shows an extended blue HB and a
C1821m249 few BS stars.
C1827m255 A BV CM diagram by Piotto et al. (2002) based on HST data shows a blue
C1827m255 straggler sequence and a horizontal branch that is populated on both
C1827m255 sides of the instability strip.
C1827m255 The RA and dec for V1-63 in the above table are from Samus et al.
C1827m255 (2009) unless indicated "Sk" in the remarks column in which case they
C1827m255 are from Skottfelt et al. (2015).
C1827m255 Samus et al. pointed out that there were serious errors in the RA
C1827m255 and dec values published earlier by Rutily & Terzan (1977).
C1827m255 The periods, magnitudes and classifications for V1-63 are based mainly
C1827m255 on the data of Rutily & Terzan (1977). They treated the variable stars
C1827m255 in two groups: red variables (V1-V19 and V46-V63)
C1827m255 and blue variables (V20-V45).
C1827m255 Most of the red variables are located outside the tidal radius
C1827m255 (~4.7 arcminutes according to the 2010 update of the 1996 Harris
C1827m255 catalogue) and probably belong to the field around the cluster.
C1827m255 Consequently they are all listed in the Moscow GCVS or NSV catalogues.
C1827m255 Samus et al. (2009) listed the GCVS and/or NSV designations for these
C1827m255 variables in Table 1 of their paper.
C1827m255 Skottfelt et al. (2015) published RA, dec, periods, magnitudes and
C1827m255 amplitudes for some of the blue variables. These stars are indicated
C1827m255 "Sk" in the remarks column.
C1827m255 Smith & Stryker (1986) derived radial velocities and Delta S values for
C1827m255 a few of the RR Lyrae variables. They found that V37, V38, V42, V45
C1827m255 were probable members and that the membership membership status of
C1827m255 V40 and V43 was questionable.
C1828m235 A CM diagram based on HST observations by Balbinot et al. (2009) shows
C1828m235 a well populated blue straggler sequence and a well developed HB.
C1828m235 The RA and dec for V1-18 in the above table are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1828m235 The V magnitude for V1 is from Barbuy et al. (2006) and the period and
C1828m235 classification are from Hoffleit (1972).
C1828m235 The remaining data for V2-18 are from Hazen (1993).
C1828m235 Barbuy et al. (2006) published V magnitudes for 9 of the RR Lyrae
C1828m235 variables: V3-5, V7, V9, V11-13, and V15 and derived a mean V of
C1828m235 16.43 +/- 0.06 mag. They also showed that V1 lies near the RG tip in
C1828m235 the CM diagram.
C1828m323 NGC 6637 is a metal rich bulge cluster with [Fe/H]= -0.8 (Minniti 1995).
C1828m323 A VI CM diagram published by Heasley et al. (2000) shows a pronounced red HB.
C1828m323 The RA and dec for V1-8 are from Samus et al. (2009). The remaining data are
C1828m323 from the following sources.
C1828m323 V1-3:
C1828m323 The magnitudes listed for V1-V3 are from Rosino (1962).
C1828m323 V2:
C1828m323 The period for V2 (V3484 Sgr) is from the GCVS.
C1828m323 Hartwick & Sandage classified the RR Lyrae V2 as a field star
C1828m323 because it is more than 5 arcmin from the cluster centre and
C1828m323 at least a magnitude fainter than the HB.
C1828m323 V4-5:
C1828m323 The periods, magnitudes and amplitudes listed for V4-V5 are from
C1828m323 Sloan et al. (2010).
C1828m323 The Mira classification for these variables was by Lloyd Evans &
C1828m323 Menzies (1971). Catchpole et al. (1970) derived their radial
C1828m323 velocities and concluded that both stars were plausible cluster
C1828m323 members and probably Mira variables.
C1828m323 V5:
C1828m323 This star was numbered V10 by Rosino (1962) in his discovery paper.
C1828m323 The number V5 was assigned by Sawyer Hogg in her 3rd (1973) catalogue
C1828m323 because Rosino considered his V5-V9 to all be field stars.
C1828m323 The star referred to as V10 by Catchpole et al. (1970) and by
C1828m323 Lloyd Evans & Menzies (1971, 1973) is V5 because their work was
C1828m323 published before Sawyer Hogg assigned the new numbering system.
C1828m323 V6-8:
C1828m323 The magnitudes listed for V6-8 are from Hartwick & Sandage (1968).
C1832m330 A BV CM diagram by Ortolani et al. (1994) shows a red HB and a well
C1832m330 populated blue straggler sequence.
C1832m330 The RA and dec for V1-9 and V11 are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1832m330 The remaining data for V1-9 are from the discovery paper by Hazen
C1832m330 (1989).
C1832m330 The data for V10 and V12 are from Heinke et al. (2001).
C1832m330 The data for V13 and 14 are from Skottfelt et al. (2015).
C1833m239 The positions listed above for V1-43 are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1833m239 For the remaining variables, the positions and other data are taken
C1833m239 from the discovery papers unless indicated otherwise in the notes.
C1833m239 The periods, magnitudes, amplitudes, classifications and membership
C1833m239 status for all of the RR Lyrae variables are from Kunder et al. (2013).
C1833m239 The periods, magnitudes, amplitudes, variability type and membership
C1833m239 status listed for all the "non-RR Lyrae" variables numbered from V1 to
C1833m239 V35 are from Wehlau & Sawyer Hogg (1977, 1978) unless otherwise noted
C1833m239 in the remarks column. They also published ID charts for V1-35; the
C1833m239 'outer' variables are shown in their 1977 paper and the 'inner' variables
C1833m239 in 1978.
C1833m239 The magnitudes, amplitudes and membership status for V36-43 are from the
C1833m239 discovery paper by Kravtsov et al. (1994).
C1833m239 The membership of V5, V8, V9, V11 and the non-membership of V14 are from
C1833m239 a radial velocity study by Joy (1949). Radial velocities confirming the
C1833m239 membership of V5, V8, V9 and V30 were subsequently obtained by Peterson
C1833m239 & Cudworth (1994).
C1833m239 Samus et al. (2009) listed GCVS numbers for V14, V17, V22, V26, V28, V31,
C1833m239 V32 and V33. They are Sgr variables V1311, V4068, V3853, V2007, V2367,
C1833m239 V3855, V4067, and V4069 respectively. V29 and V30 are NSV 11080 and
C1833m239 11084. In addition, Samus (private communication, 2012) pointed out that
C1833m239 Sebastian Otero noted that V27 is V2592 Sgr.
C1838m198 Armandroff (1988) obtained CCD images in the V,R,I bands to compare the
C1838m198 CM diagram of Pal 8 with that of 47 Tuc. He found that the HB of Pal 8
C1838m198 lies entirely redward of red edge of the instability strip, characteristic
C1838m198 of a metal rich cluster. It does not extend as far to the blue as the red
C1838m198 HB of 47 Tuc.
C1840m323 NGC 6681 is located in the same region of the sky as the main body of the
C1840m323 Sagittarius dwarf galaxy. CM diagrams by Brocato et al. (1996) and
C1840m323 Massari et al. (2013) show an extended blue HB.
C1840m323 The RA and dec for V1-5 are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1840m323 The remaining data are from Liller (1983).
C1840m323 The data for V6 are from the discovery paper by Figuera Jaimes et al.
C1840m323 (2016).
C1850m087 NGC 6712 is a moderately metal rich ([Fe/H]=-1.02) cluster located in
C1850m087 a rich star field in the Scutum cloud.
C1850m087 A CM diagram by Paltrinieri et al. (2001) shows a well populated blue
C1850m087 straggler sequence and an HB that is predominantly red.
C1850m087 According to the 2010 update to the Harris (1996) catalogue, its tidal
C1850m087 radius is 8.5 arcminutes, but the CM diagram shows that field stars
C1850m087 dominate at distances greater than 2.5 arcminutes from the cluster
C1850m087 centre.
C1850m087 Some of the variables are listed in the Moscow GCVS. For these stars,
C1850m087 the GCVS designation is listed in the remarks column.
C1850m087 In the above table, the RA and dec for V1-22 are from Samus et al.
C1850m087 (2009).
C1850m087 The remaining elements for these stars are from Sandage et al. (1966)
C1850m087 unless indicated otherwise in the remarks column where
C1850m087 Ros refers to Rosino (1966)
C1850m087 PK refers to Pietrukowicz & Kaluzny (2004)
C1850m087 Sl refers to Sloan (2010)
C1850m087 LEM refers to Lloyd Evans & Menzies (1977) and
C1850m087 KC refers to Cudworth (1988).
C1850m087 For V23-29, all of the elements are from the discovery papers.
C1851m305 NGC 6715 (M54) is located in a Milky Way Galactic Bulge field. However,
C1851m305 the cluster resides in the centre of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy which
C1851m305 is about three times more distant than the Galactic Bulge.
C1851m305 The cluster and its surrounding field were observed in the OGLE IV
C1851m305 Galactic Bulge survey. Results from this survey have been reported by
C1851m305 Soszynski et al. (2014 - hereafter Sos14) for RR Lyrae variables and
C1851m305 by Soszynski et al. (2016 - hereafter Sos16) for eclipsing binaries.
C1851m305 The most comprehensive investigation of the variable stars in NGC 6715
C1851m305 was by Hamanowicz et al. (2016 - hereafter H16), based on the OGLE IV
C1851m305 data. They announced 52 new variables, V296-V347 and also published
C1851m305 data for most of the previously known variables.
C1851m305 Among their new variables, H16 listed only variable stars located less
C1851m305 than 7.5 arcmin from the cluster centre, the tidal radius that was
C1851m305 published in the 1999 and 2003 updates to the Harris (1996) catalogue.
C1851m305 A few additional OGLE IV variables have been included in this catalogue,
C1851m305 variables with r<9.5 arcminutes, which is the tidal radius derived from
C1851m305 the data published by Harris (2010.)
C1851m305 The data in the above table are from H16 unless indicated otherwise
C1851m305 in the Notes/Remarks column where
C1851m305 S10 refers to Sollima et al. (2010). These stars were located
C1851m305 in the gaps between CCDs in OGLE IV investigation.
C1851m305 FJ16 refers to Figuera Jaimes et al. (2016), a study of the
C1851m305 central region of the cluster. FJ16 discovered 80 new
C1851m305 variables in the central region and the RA and dec listed
C1851m305 for these variables are from their study.
C1851m305 45 of the FJ16 variables were also recovered by H16 and in
C1851m305 these cases, the Notes on individual stars indicate the
C1851m305 source for the entries in the table
C1851m305 Sos14 refers to Soszynski et al. (2014), OGLE IV RR Lyrae data
C1851m305 Sos16 refers to Soszynski et al. (2016), OGLE IV eclipsing data
C1851m305 For variable stars in clusters located in Galactic bulge fields, it is
C1851m305 challenging to establish cluster membership because field stars can often
C1851m305 be found within the tidal radius. Without radial velocities or proper
C1851m305 motions, the best approach is to consider the location in the CM diagram
C1851m305 as well as distance from the cluster centre.
C1852m227 BV colour magnitude diagrams by Brocato et al. (1996) and Ortolani et al.
C1852m227 (1999) show an extended blue HB which is unusual for a cluster with such
C1852m227 a relatively high metal abundance. According to the 2010 version of the
C1852m227 Harris catalogue, [Fe/H] = -1.26.
C1852m227 The period, mean magnitude, amplitude and variability type
C1852m227 listed for V1 are from Goranskij (1978) and the RA and dec are from
C1852m227 Samus et al. (2009). Based on its location in the CM diagram, it is
C1852m227 considered to be a cluster member.
C1856m367 The data in the above table are from Lee et al. (2014) unless indicated
C1856m367 otherwise in the notes on individual stars. The NV numbers listed for
C1856m367 V33-V47 are from their paper; the numbers V33-47 have been assigned
C1856m367 in this catalogue.
C1902p017 VI color-magnitude diagrams published by Kaisler et al. (1997) and by
C1902p017 Rosino et al. (1997) show a blue HB. Rosino et al. concluded that
C1902p017 this is a halo cluster located close to the Galactic plane. The
C1902p017 surrounding field is rich in Mira variables (75 within 1 degree of the
C1902p017 cluster centre), but they do not appear to be members. They are probably
C1902p017 associated with the metal rich disc/bulge population. Skiff (2001)
C1902p017 listed RA, dec and magnitudes for the variables, but agreed with Rosino
C1902p017 that probably none of theMira variables are related to the cluster.
C1902p017 The data for the type II Cepheid V1 are from Matsunaga et al. (2006).
C1906m600 NGC 6752 is the subject of many recent studies because of its milli-second
C1906m600 pulsars and its X-ray sources. In addition, its multiple stellar
C1906m600 populations have been investigated by numerous authors, see e.g., Kravtsov
C1906m600 et al. (2014). The cluster is relatively metal poor, with [Fe/H] = -1.54,
C1906m600 according to the 2010 update to the Harris (1996) catalogue. Its CM diagram
C1906m600 has an extended blue HB. No RR Lyrae variables have been discovered.
C1906m600 V1-3: The RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009). They also pointed
C1906m600 out that the y coordinate published for V1 in the previous on-line catalogue
C1906m600 (Clement et al. 2001) was incorrect. It should have been +143.0 (not
C1906m600 +14.30). The remaining data for V1 are from Lee (1974) and for V3 from
C1906m600 the discovery paper by Cannon & Stobie (1973).
C1906m600 V4-14: Most of the data are from the discovery paper by Thompson et al.
C1906m600 (1999) unless indicated otherwise in the Notes on individual stars.
C1906m600 The "f" classification for V5, V6, V9, V11 was by Rucinski (2000)
C1906m600 based on photometric criteria.
C1906m600 Samus et al. (2009) pointed out that V4, V5, V6, V8 and V11 are V0394,
C1906m600 0395, 0396, 0397 and 0398 Pav respectively.
C1906m600 V15-24: All the data are from the discovery paper by Kaluzny & Thompson
C1906m600 (2009).
C1906m600 V25-27: All the data are from Thomson et al. (2012).
C1906m600 The data for the PSR objects are from D'Amico et al. (2002).
C1908p009 NGC 6760 is a metal rich cluster in the Galactic bulge. The 2010
C1908p009 update to the Harris (1996) catalogue lists [Fe/H] = -0.4. A VI
C1908p009 CM diagram by Heitsch & Richtler (1999) shows a prominent red HB and
C1908p009 also demonstrates that the cluster is located in a rich field near the
C1908p009 plane of the Galaxy.
C1908p009 For V1 and V2, the magnitudes are from the discovery paper by Sawyer
C1908p009 (1953) and the RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009).
C1908p009 All the data for V3 and V4 are from Sloan et al. (2010).
C1914m347 Terzan 7 is probably a member of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy.
C1914m347 A BV CM diagram by Buonanno et al. (1995) shows a steep red giant branch
C1914m347 and a compact red HB, characteristics of a metal-rich cluster.
C1914m347 A VI CM diagram by Held et al. (2002) shows a well populated blue
C1914m347 straggler sequence.
C1914m347 Sbordone et al. (2005) derived [Fe/H] = -0.6 from high resolution
C1914m347 UVES-VLT spectra of 5 giant stars.
C1914m347 In the 2010 update to his catalogue, Harris (1996) adopted [Fe/H]= -0.32.
C1914p300 V1-12: The periods, magnitudes and membership status are from Wehlau
C1914p300 & Sawyer Hogg, (1985). Their membership status for V1, V3, V5,
C1914p300 V7, V8, V9 and V11 was based on a proper motion study by Rishel
C1914p300 et al. (1981); V6 based on a radial velocity study by Joy (1949)
C1914p300 and V10 based on its faint mean magnitude. The RA and dec are
C1914p300 from Samus et al. (2009).
C1914p300 V7-11 are V0487, V0485, V0486, V0483 and V0484 resepctively
C1914p300 in the Moscow GCVS (Samus et al.)
C1914p300 V13-14: The data are from the discovery paper by Pietrukowicz et
C1914p300 al. (2008). They classified V13 as a pulsating variable,
C1914p300 possibly on the AGB - no color information was available.
C1916p184 The RA and dec for V2 and V3 are from Samus et al. (2009) who have
C1916p184 pointed out that these stars are MV Sge and MZ Sge respectively.
C1916p184 The periods, magnitudes, amplitudes and variability types for
C1916p184 V2 and V3 are from Rosino & Guzzi (1978) and their membership status
C1916p184 is from Canterna & Rosino (1981). However, Rosino & Ortolani (1985)
C1916p184 commented that, since they lie in a field rich of Mira variables, it is
C1916p184 possible that they both belong to the field.
C1916p184 A VI CM diagram by Kaisler et al. (1997) shows a purely red HB,
C1916p184 characteristic of a metal rich cluster. The cluster is heavily reddened
C1916p184 and also differentially reddened.
C1925m304 The periods and variability types in the above table are from Salinas
C1925m304 et al (2005). No magnitudes or amplitudes were derived because they used
C1925m304 the image subtraction technique for their study. The RA and dec were
C1925m304 provided by Salinas (2013, private communication) and were derived from
C1925m304 the study by Salinas et al. (2012).
C1936m310 All the data listed for V1-V15 are from Olech et al. (1999).
C1936m310 The data for V16-V42 are from the discovery paper by Pych et al. (2001).
C1936m310 They classified V16-V30 as single-mode SXPhe variables and V31-V42 as
C1936m310 double-mode SXPhe variables. For all of the double-mode stars (except
C1936m310 V41), one of the modes is considered to be non-radial in origin. The
C1936m310 periods listed for V31-V42 in the above table are the longer of the
C1936m310 stars' two periods and the amplitudes are the amplitudes associated with
C1936m310 these longer periods (except in the case of V38).
C1936m310 The data for V43 are from the discovery paper by Kaluzny et al. (2005)
C1936m310 The data for V44-V71 are from the discovery paper by Kaluzny et al.
C1936m310 (2010). However, it should be noted that the amplitudes listed for the
C1936m310 SX Phe variables seem to be unusually low. It appears that they
C1936m310 represent half of the total light range. More than 20 of the SXPhe
C1936m310 variables in M55 were studied by Pych et al. (2001) and when the amplitudes
C1936m310 they derived are compared with the values of Kaluzny et al. (2010),
C1936m310 Pych's amplitudes are more than a factor of 2 larger.
C1936m310 The Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy is visible in the background field of
C1936m310 M55. As a result, some of the variables in the M55 field are associated
C1936m310 with the Sgr galaxy and not the cluster. This is noted in the remarks
C1936m310 column.
C1936m310 A proper motion study by Zloczewski et al. (2011) showed that variables
C1936m310 V2, V4, V5, V6, V7, V8, V10, V11, V12, V16-V27, V31-V38, V41, V42, V44,
C1936m310 V45, V47, V48, V53-V55, V57, V60-V65, V67 and V69 are all probably
C1936m310 cluster members and that V15 and V49-V51 are field stars.
C1936m310
C1936m310 Some of the variables (V5, V24, V35, V38, V40) were included in the
C1936m310 proper motion study by Sariya et al. (2012) and all were found to be
C1936m310 cluster members.
C1938m341 The periods and classifications are from Salinas et al. (2005).
C1938m341 The RA and dec were derived from the study by Salinas et al. (2012)
C1938m341 and were provided by Salinas (2013, private communication).
C1942m081 A variable star search of Pal 11 was carried out by Kinman & Rosino
C1942m081 (1962) but no variables were detected.
C1942m081 A VI color-magnitude diagram published by Lewis et al. (2006) shows
C1942m081 noticeable, but depleted red giant and subgiant branches. It has a red
C1942m081 horizontal branch, characteristic of a metal rich cluster cluster.
C1942m081 In fact, they found that the CMD was virtually identical to that of the
C1942m081 metal rich cluster NGC 5927.
C1942m081 There are also a few blue stragglers but the data were not extensive
C1942m081 enough to carry out a search for variables.
C1942m081
C1951p186 The RA and dec for V1-6 are from Samus et al. (2009) and for P1-23, they
C1951p186 are from Park & Nemec (2000). In the above table, P1-23 are v1-23 on the
C1951p186 numbering system of Park & Nemec and V7-29 in the paper by Samus et al.
C1951p186 The periods, mean magnitudes and amplitudes for V2, V5 and V6 are
C1951p186 from Welty (1985) who considered V2 and V5 to be cluster members, but
C1951p186 concluded that the membership of V6 (V0345 Sge) is unlikely based on a
C1951p186 proper motion study by Cudworth (1985).
C1951p186 The remaining data for V1, 3 and 4 are discussed in the notes on
C1951p186 individual stars.
C1951p186 The periods, magnitudes, amplitudes and classifications for V7-29 are
C1951p186 from the study by Park & Nemec (2000). The membership status of V7, 8, 9
C1951p186 and 11 is from Rucinski (2000). He did not analyse any of the other
C1951p186 variables.
C2003m220 Note that V18-47 are NV1-30 of Corwin et al. (2003) and V48-51 are NV1-4
C2003m220 of Scott et al. (2006).
C2003m220 The RA and dec for V1-17 are from Samus et al. (2009).
C2003m220 The RA and dec for most of the other stars were supplied by Rodrigo
C2003m220 Contreras (2012, private communication) from the investigation by
C2003m220 Contreras et al. (2012).
C2003m220 The exceptions were V21, V24, V27, V28, V34 and V47-51. For these stars,
C2003m220 the RA and dec were calculated from the x,y positions published
C2003m220 by Corwin et al. (2003) and Scott et al. (2006). For these calculations,
C2003m220 it was assumed that the origin of their x,y system was RA=20:06:04.90 and
C2003m220 dec=-21:55:17.8. Making this assumption gave good agreement with the
C2003m220 coordinates Contreras et al. derived for the other stars.
C2003m220 All of the remaining data for V1-47 are from Corwin et al. (2003) unless
C2003m220 indicated by PRC in the remarks column, in which case they are from Pinto
C2003m220 et al. (1982). Corwin et al. did not derive magnitudes and amplitudes
C2003m220 for all of the variables because they used the image subtraction technique
C2003m220 for their analysis. They observed in B and V, but only V magnitudes are
C2003m220 listed here.
C2003m220 All of the data for V48-51 are from Scott et al. (2006).
C2003m220 Contreras et al (2012) identified 62 blue straggler stars which are
C2003m220 highly segregated in the cluster core. They published their RA, dec and
C2003m220 magnitudes. Some of these are probably variable, but their data were
C2003m220 not suitable for carrying out a variable star search. However, the
C2003m220 position of their star BSS#5, RA=301.5202849 and dec -21.9213937, seems
C2003m220 to be close to the suspected binary V50 (NV4 of Scott et al. 2006).
C2031p072 NGC 6934 is an intermediate-metallicity cluster with [Fe/H]=-1.47
C2031p072 according to the 2010 update of the Harris (1996) catalogue. A
C2031p072 BV CM diagram by Piotto et al. (1999), based on HST observations,
C2031p072 shows a well populated HB with an extended blue HB and a well defined
C2031p072 sequence of blue stragglers.
C2031p072 The most extensive investigation of the variable stars was by
C2031p072 Kaluzny et al. (2001). All of the data in the above table are from
C2031p072 their study unless indicated otherwise in the Notes on individual stars.
C2050m127 The RA and dec are from the following sources: V1-42 (Samus et al. 2009),
C2050m127 V43-56 (Bramich et al. 2011), V57-58 (Skottfelt et al. 2013b) and V59-60
C2050m127 (Amigo et al 2013).
C2050m127 Most of the remaining data are from the study by Amigo et al. (2013)
C2050m127 unless indicated otherwise in the Notes on individual stars.
C2050m127 The "CST" classifications are from Bramich et al. (2011). Since Amigo et al.
C2050m127 (2013) did not present any results for these stars, it is assumed they
C2050m127 also did not detect any variability.
C2059p160 The remote globular cluster NGC 7006 was one of the first clusters known
C2059p160 to exhibit the "second parameter" effect. Although it is relatively
C2059p160 metal poor, with [Fe/H] = -1.52 according to the 2010 update of the
C2059p160 Harris (1996) catalogue, the predominance of red stars on its horizontal
C2059p160 branch is characteristic of a more metal rich cluster.
C2059p160 The most recent and comprehensive investigation of the variable stars in
C2059p160 NGC 7006 was by Wehlau et al. (1999).
C2059p160 In the above table, the RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009).
C2059p160 The remaining data are from Wehlau et al. (1999) unless indicated
C2059p160 otherwise in the remarks column where
C2059p160 SW refers to Sandage & Wildey (1967)
C2059p160 RC refers to Rosino & Ciatti (1967)
C2059p160 PR refers to Pinto & Rosino (1973)
C2059p160 W92 refers to Wehlau et al. (1992)
C2127p119 A major study of the RR Lyrae variables in M15 was
C2127p119 published by Corwin et al. (2008). Consequently, most of the
C2127p119 data listed for the RR Lyrae and Cepheids in the above table
C2127p119 are from the Corwin paper.
C2127p119 If an RR Lyrae or Cepheid was not studied by Corwin et al., the
C2127p119 data are from the discovery paper or from the source indicated
C2127p119 in the "Notes on individual stars" or in the "Remarks" column
C2127p119 where:
C2127p119 "S&S" refers to Silbermann & Smith (1995),
C2127p119 "Bing" refers to Bingham et al. (1984),
C2127p119 "Rosino" refers to Rosino (1969),
C2127p119 "Kadla" refers to Kadla et al. (1984)
C2127p119 Samus et al. (2009) published the RA and dec for the
C2127p119 stars investigated in the 4 papers listed above.
C2127p119 "Tuair" refers to Tuairisg et al. (2003) who derived
C2127p119 the RA & dec in addition to the other elements.
C2127p119 and
C2127p119 "TuCo"indicates that the positions, periods and
C2127p119 variability types are from Corwin et al. (2008) and
C2127p119 the mean magnitudes and amplitudes are from the paper
C2127p119 by Tuairisg et al. (2003).
C2127p119 Corwin et al. (2008) also pointed out that there is some
C2127p119 overlap among the variables listed by different authors.
C2127p119 This confusion occurred because Tuairisg et al. (2003) and
C2127p119 Zheleznyak & Kravtsov (2003) were writing their papers at the same
C2127p119 time. These identities are indicated in the Notes/Remarks column.
C2127p119 The data for V122, V123, V124, V125 (=X-1, AC211), V126, V127,
C2127p119 V156, V157, V158, ZK47, ZK62, ZK68, K757, K825, X-2, CV1, CV2
C2127p119 are from their discovery papers unless indicated otherwise in the
C2127p119 notes.
C2127p119 An identification chart and catalogue of x,y positions for
C2127p119 most variables numbered up to 123 was publishd by Kadla et al.
C2127p119 (1988).
C2127p119 Please note, however, that Kadla's V113, 114, 122 and 123
C2127p119 are not the same stars as the ones listed in the above table.
C2127p119 Their V113 is our V122 and their V114 is NV3. Kadla's V122 and
C2127p119 V123 refer to Kustner #880 and #263 and are not listed in the
C2127p119 table because their variability has not been confirmed in other
C2127p119 investigations. Both stars were located in the field of view of
C2127p119 the investigation of Corwin et al. (2008), but were not detected
C2127p119 as variables.
C2127p119 Kustner (1921) listed x,y positions for 1137 stars in M15. His
C2127p119 catalog numbers have been cited by many authors.
C2130m010 For V1-34:
C2130m010 The RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009)
C2130m010 Periods, magnitudes, amplitudes and variability types are
C2130m010 from Lee & Carney (1999) unless indicated otherwise in the
C2130m010 notes on individual stars.
C2130m010 For V35-V42:
C2130m010 All the data are from Lazaro et al. (2006). No magnitudes were
C2130m010 derived because they used the image subtraction technique.
C2137m234 The RA and dec listed for V1-13 are from Samus et al. (2009) and those
C2137m234 for V14-21 are from Kains et al. (2013). The remaining data are from
C2137m234 the study by Kains et al. (2013) unless indicated otherwise in the notes.
C2137m234 All of the data for V22-26 are from the discovery paper by Pietrukowicz &
C2137m234 Kaluzny (2004). They are their M30_04 to M30_08, respectively.
C2143m214 The RA and dec for V1-3 are from Samus et al. (2009).
C2143m214 V1-V2: The magnitudes, amplitudes and variability types for V1&2
C2143m214 are from Kinman & Rosino (1962). The membership status is from
C2143m214 Rosino & Ortolani (1985) based on the CM diagram published by
C2143m214 Harris & Canterna (1980)
C2143m214 V3: The magnitude for V3 is from Kinman & Rosino (1962) and the
C2143m214 possibility that this object was a supernova in a faint
C2143m214 galaxy was suggested by Rosino & Ortolani (1985).
C2143m214 None of these variables were detected in a search for RR Lyrae variables
C2143m214 by Salinas et al. (2005). Thus their variability is questioned.
