SX Phe Variables in Globular Clusters
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We have compiled an extensive and up-dated list of SX Phe-type pulsators 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. The stars and their most significant parameters are listed together with references to studies of individual stars and notes for a number of variables. In addition, the references on the discovery for each variable and sources for photometry are also listed. Some relevant distributions are also analysed. 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.
