Phe stars in globular clusters ?

چکیده
We present for the first time a catalogue of SX Phetype pulsating variables in globular clusters. In addition, SX Phe variables discovered in the Carina dwarf galaxy and other ones probably belonging to the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy are included. This catalogue is intended to be an up-dated list of all the SX Phe stars, in globular clusters and galaxies, known until now, covering information published up to January, 2000. In summary, 149 variables are presented in our list for SX Phe-type variables belonging to 18 globular clusters and 2 galaxies. Some relevant distributions are also shown. The analysis of metal abundances and mean periods shows that both parameters are correlated in the sense that the periods of the variables are longer as the metallicity of the stellar system is higher.

Warsaw Variability Surveys
Four large/medium size photometric surveys are being conducted by Warsaw astronomers: Warsaw-LCO survey of globular clusters, OGLE, DIRECT and ASAS. In this contribution we provide short description of these projects and discuses briefly some results obtained for pulsating variables. 1. Warsaw-LCO survey of globular clusters The main goal of the survey is identification of detached eclipsing bi...

Globular clusters are ideal laboratories to study the evolution of low-mass stars. In this work we concentrate on three types of hot stars observed in globular clusters: horizontal branch stars, UV bright stars, and white dwarfs. After providing some historical background and information on gaps and blue tails we discuss extensively hot horizontal branch stars in metal-poor globular clusters, e...

We model the dynamics of test binaries in isotropic, multi-mass models of galactic globular clusters. The evolution of binary orbits through the cluster potentials is modeled, including second order diiusion terms, and probabilities for close encounters with eld stars are calculated. We carry out Monte Carlo simulations of the eeects of the binary{single star encounters on the binary population...
متن کاملThe Dynamical Implications of Multiple Stellar Formation Events in Galactic Globular Clusters
Various galactic globular clusters display abundance anomalies that affect the morphology of their colour-magnitude diagrams. In this paper we consider the possibility of helium enhancement in the anomalous horizontal branch of NGC 2808. We examine the dynamics of a self-enrichment scenario in which an initial generation of stars with a top-heavy initial mass function enriches the interstellar ...
متن کاملCollisions of Free Floating Planets with Evolved Stars in Globular Clusters
We estimate the rate of collisions between stars and free-floating planets (FFPs) in globular clusters, in particular the collision of FFPs with red giant branch (RGB) stars. Recent dynamical simulations imply that the density of such objects could exceed ∼ 10 pc near the cores of rich globular clusters. We show that in these clusters ∼ 5− 10% of all RGB stars near the core would suffer a colli...
