- Description:
- We present new B, V and I CCD time-series photometry for 177 variable stars in a 13x13arcmin^2^ field centred on the globular cluster M54 using the European Southern Observatory (ESO)-Danish 1.54-m telescope in La Silla, 94 of which are newly identified variables. The total sample is composed of two anomalous Cepheids, 144 RR Lyrae stars (108 RR0 and 36 RR1), three SX Phoenicis, seven eclipsing binaries (five W UMa and two Algol binaries), three variables of uncertain classification and 18 long-period variables. Ephemerides are provided for all the observed short-period variables. The positional accuracy is better than 0.2".

- Description:
- We report an analysis of new V and I CCD time-series photometry of the globular cluster NGC 6934. Through the Fourier decomposition of the RR Lyrae light curves, the mean values of [Fe/H] and the distance of the cluster were estimated, we found; [Fe/H]_UVES_=-1.48+/-0.14 and d=16.03+/-0.42kpc, and [Fe/H]_UVES_=-1.43+/-0.11 and d=15.91+/-0.39kpc, from the calibrations of RRab and RRc stars respectively. Independent distance estimations from SX Phe and SR stars are also discussed. Individual absolute magnitudes, radii and masses are also reported for RR Lyrae stars. We found 12 new variables: 4 RRab, 3 SX Phe, 2 W Virginis (CW) and 3 semi-regular (SR). The inter-mode or "either-or" region in the instability strip is shared by the RRab and RRc stars. This characteristic, observed only in some OoI clusters and never seen in an OoII, is discussed in terms of mass distribution in the ZAHB.

- Description:
- We report on the discovery of 141 further variable stars found in the field of the open cluster NGC 6819. The stars were identified from time-series photometric data obtained on the Isaac Newton Telescope, La Palma, during two observing runs covering the 19 nights between 1999 June 22-30 and 1999 July 22-31. The variables found include 53 eclipsing binaries, of which eight stars appear to be RS CVns, in addition to 70 stars showing spot activity, 13 showing long-period variability and five variables of other types.

- Description:
- We present results of a photometric survey for variable stars in the field of the globular cluster Omega Centauri. The observed region was centered roughly on the cluster core and covered 644arcmin^2^. The cluster was monitored on 59 nights in 1999 and 2000. A total of 117 new variables were identified. Among them there are 16 RR Lyr-type stars, 35 SX Phe variables and 26 eclipsing binaries. A comprehensive catalog including all variable stars so far reported from the cluster field is presented. We list basic photometric properties and provide finding charts for a total of 392 objects. For 313 of them new BV light curves were obtained. The presented sample includes several interesting variables, such as SX Phe stars with extremely short periods of pulsation and several candidates for pulsating K giants. Optical counterparts to 9 X-ray sources detected by XMM and Chandra telescopes were identified: all of them are likely to be foreground variables not related to the cluster.

- Description:
- The MACHO Project is a collaboration between scientists at the Mt. Stromlo & Siding Spring Observatories, the Center for Particle Astrophysics at the Santa Barbara, San Diego, & Berkeley campuses of the University of California, and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The primary aim of the project is a search for dark matter in the halo of the Milky Way in the form of objects like brown dwarfs or planets also named MACHOs, for MAssive Compact Halo Objects. The signature of these MACHOs is the occasional amplification of the light from extragalactic stars by the gravitational lens effect. The amplification can be large, but events are extremely rare: it is necessary to monitor photometrically several million stars for a period of years in order to obtain a useful detection rate. The MACHO project is described by Alcock et al. (1992, in "Robotic Telescopes in the 1990s", A.V. Fillippenko Ed., ASP Conf. Series 34, p.193). A dedicated 1.27-m telescope at Mount Stromlo, Australia is used to obtain observations of the LMC year-round, using a camera imaging a field of view of 0.5 square degrees at prime focus. Photometric observations of the LMC fields are obtained in two bandpasses simultaneously, using a dichroic beamsplitter to direct the blue (440-590nm) and red (590-780nm) light onto 2x2 mosaics of 2048x2048 Loral CCDs; the 15um pixels map to 0.63arcsec on the sky. The photometric reduction methods are detailed in Alcock et al. (1996ApJ...461...84A).

- Description:
- We present a CCD survey of variable stars in the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy. This survey, which has the largest areal coverage since the original variable star survey by Baade & Swope (1961AJ.....66..300B), includes photometry for 270 RR Lyrae (RRL) stars, 9 anomalous Cepheids (ACs), 2 eclipsing binaries, and 12 slow, irregular red variables, as well as 30 background QSOs. Twenty-six probable double-mode RRL stars were identified. Observed parameters, including mean V and I magnitudes, V amplitudes, and periods, have been derived.

- Description:
- Using extended multicolour CCD photometry of the triple-mode radial pulsator V823 Cas we studied the properties of the coupling frequencies invoked by nonlinear processes. Our results support that a resonance connection affects the mode coupling behaviour. The P1/P0 period ratio of V823 Cas has an "out of range" value if compared with the period ratios of the known double mode pulsators, while the P2/P1 period ratio is normal. The periods and period ratios cannot be consistently interpreted without conflict with pulsation and/or evolution models. We describe this failure with the suggestion that at present, the periods of V823 Cas are in a transient, resonance affected state, thus do not reflect the true parameters of the object. The anomalous period change behaviour of the fundamental and second overtone modes supports this idea. We have also raised the possibility that a f0+f2=2f1 resonance may act in triple mode pulsators.

- Description:
- We present VI CCD photometric observations of about 5500 stars up to a limiting magnitude of V~20 in an area of ~16'x16' around the cluster NGC 6631. The cluster parameters determined for the first time by fitting the theoretical isochrones in the V, (V-I) diagram of the cluster stars are E(V-I)=0.60+/-0.05mag, distance=2.6+/-0.5kpc, age=400+/-100Myr and metallicity, Z=0.05. The cluster diameter determined from the radial density profile is 4.8+-0.5pc. The mass function of the cluster has a slope of 2.1+/-05.
