RR Lyrae Variables in Local Group Galaxies: LMC, Leo I. New Results and Distances to these Galaxies1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We present new results on a sample of RR Lyrae variables in the bar of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), and report on the first detection of RR Lyrae in the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Leo I. Emphasis is given to the discussion of the distances to these galaxies as derived from their RR Lyrae populations, and of the impact on the “short” and “long” distance scale dichotomy.
