Variable Stars in the Fornax Dwarf Galaxy
We have surveyed a 40' X 40' field. We have obtained 20 epochs with the MACHO camera (filters VyiRu) on the 1.3-m telescope (Mt Stromlo) and 15 VI epochs on the 1-m telescope at Siding Spring, over a time interval of five months. To look for variables, we used the method proposed by Welch & Stetson (1993). The variability index Jws is plotted in Fig. 1. Non-variable stars cluster around 0. The ...
متن کاملAssociated with the Sculptor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
Neutral hydrogen (H I ) has been detected in the Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sculptor with the 64 m Parkes single dish and mapped with the Australia Telescope synthesis array. Most of the detected H I is in two clouds ∼ 15 − 20 away from the optical center. The gas is observed at the same systemic velocity than the stars but at ≥ 125 km s away from the Magellanic Stream components in th...
متن کاملPulsating red giant and supergiant stars in the Local Group dwarf galaxy Andromeda I
We have conducted an optical long-term monitoring survey of the majority of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group, with the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT), to identify the long period variable (LPV) stars. LPV stars vary on timescales of months to years, and reach the largest amplitudes of their brightness variations at optical wavelengths, due to the changing temperature. They trace stellar populati...
متن کاملThe light curves of the short–period variable stars in the Carina dwarf Spheroidal galaxy
The light curves of the high–amplitude, short– period variable stars discovered by Mateo et al. (1998) in the Carina dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy were re-analyzed to refine their properties and compare them with those of galactic stars. In spite of a different pulsation mode established by means of different PLM relationships, the Fourier parameters did not reveal a separation between the two groups...
متن کاملVariable stars in the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822 : the photometric catalogue ⋆
Deep B,V time-series photometry obtained with the ESO Very Large Telescope has been used to identify variable stars in the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822. We surveyed a 6.8×6.8 arcmin area of the galaxy and detected a total number of 390 candidate variables with the optimal image subtraction technique (Alard 2000). Light curves on a magnitude scale were obtained for 262 of these variables. Dif...
