Open cluster LW 55 in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

KALUZNY J. and RUCINSKI S.M.

Abstract (from CDS):

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. Eight variables were found; all but one (a detached eclipsing binary) are small-amplitude (ΔV≤0.1 mag) pulsating stars of the δ Scuti, SX Phoenicis, or γ Doradus type. The BV color-magnitude diagram extends down to the solar-type stars at V=24 (MV≃5.2). The cluster age is estimated at 1.5 Gyr for Z=0.004 ([Fe/H]=-0.67); the surrounding stellar field is older, with an age greater than 4 Gyr.
