VI photometry of variable stars in Fornax

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present a search for variable stars in the Fornax dwarf galaxy covering an area of half a square degree.

Description

We have ~30 epochs of VI data. We found and determined periods for more than 500 RR Lyrae, 17 anomalous Cepheids, and six Population II Cepheids.

In addition we have 85 candidate long-period variables, the majority of which were previously unknown. We estimate that the average metal abundance of RR Lyrae stars is [Fe/H]~=-1.6dex.
