A comprehensive survey of variable stars in the globular cluster NGC 362

Astrophysics 2010-12-09 v1

Abstract

We present the first results of our variability survey for the globular cluster NGC 362. We found numerous variable stars in the field including 23 RR Lyr stars, 4 eclipsing binaries and 5 other pulsating stars. Four of the RR Lyr ae stars are located behind the cluster, possibly in the farthest extensions of the SMC.
