RR Lyrae stars in the Magellanic Clouds
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2016
Abstract
RR Lyrae variables are a component of the oldest stellar populations. In the Magellanic Clouds they occur in a few clusters and in the general field. Recent observations have concentrated on obtaining accurate photometry for the cluster variables and the evolved stars of their parent clusters; these data have been used to determine abundances, distances and ages. Results from this work are reviewed.
