CCD PHOTOMETRY OF VARIABLE STARS IN THE GLOBULAR CLUSTER RU 106
arXiv:astro-ph/9505129 · doi:10.1086/117681
Abstract
BV photometry is presented for 12 RR Lyr variables discovered in the presumably young galactic globular cluster Ruprecht 106. All variables are type RRab, and their periods span a narrow range from 0.574 to 0.652 day. We report also on the discovery of 3 SX Phe variables among the cluster blue stragglers. A likely background RR Lyr variable and two foreground contact binaries were also found in the cluster field. The reddening of Ruprecht 106 is estimated at E(B-V)=0.20 based on the (B-V) colors exhibited by the cluster RR Lyr variables at minimum light. Analysis of the "period" versus "amplitude" and "period" versus "rise-time" diagrams suggests similar metallicities of Ruprecht 106 and M3. A peak (or bump) is present in the luminosity function of the red giant branch of Ruprecht 106. Its position relative to the horizontal branch is consistent with a cluster metallicity of [Fe/H]>= -1.6.
