Discovery of a Variable Star Population in NGC 2808
We have applied the image subtraction method to images of the peculiar, bimodal-horizontal branch globular cluster NGC 2808, taken over a total of six nights over a range of five months. As a result, we have found, for the first time, a sizeable population of variable stars in the crowded inner regions of the cluster, thus raising the known RR Lyrae population in the cluster to a total of 18 st...
متن کاملThe Star Cluster population of NGC 5253 ⋆
We present a detailed analysis of the star cluster population in the starburst galaxy NGC 5253. Our work is based on HST optical and VLT Ks images. We detect more than 300 clusters, and for all of them we derive the photometry in the V, I and Ks bands and built a color-color V-I/V-Ks diagram. After correction for star contamination, we matched 115 sources in all the three bands V, I and Ks. Com...
متن کاملPhotometric study of the variable star population in the globular cluster NGC 6397
We present the results of a photometric survey for variable stars in the central region of the nearby globular cluster NGC 6397. Time series photometry was obtained for 30 variable objects. The sample includes 12 new objects, of which 6 show periodic light curves and 2 are eclipsing binaries of unknown period. Six variables possess certain and three possess likely X-ray counterparts detected wi...
متن کاملSerendipitous Discovery of a Cataclysmic Variable in the Globular Cluster Ngc 6624
Despite indications that classical cataclysmic variable (CV) stars are rare in globular clusters in general, and in the cluster NGC6624 in particular, we have serendipitously discovered such a star ∼ 6 from the cluster center. A Hubble Space Telescope spectrum of the m ∼ 22 object shows strong, broad emission lines typical of numerous field CVs, and the inferred optical and UV luminosity are al...

Despite indications that classical cataclysmic variable (CV) stars are rare in globular clusters in general, and in the cluster NGC 6624 in particular, we have serendipitously discovered such a star ∼ 6′′ from the cluster center. A Hubble Space Telescope spectrum of the m ∼ 22 object shows strong, broad emission lines typical of numerous field CVs, and the inferred optical and UV luminosity are...
