BV photometry of LW 55 in LMC

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The field of the moderately old open cluster LW 55 in the outer parts of the Large Magellanic Cloud disk was monitored for detection of short-period variable stars over two nights.

Description

Eight variables were found; all but one (a detached eclipsing binary) are small-amplitude ({Delta}V<=0.1mag) pulsating stars of the {delta} Scuti, SX Phoenicis, or Doradus type. The BV color-magnitude diagram extends down to the solar-type stars at V=24 (M_V_~5.2).

The cluster age is estimated at 1.5Gyr for Z=0.004 ([Fe/H]=-0.67); the surrounding stellar field is older, with an age greater than 4Gyr.
