Three fields covering the central part of the globular cluster Omega Cen were surveyed in a search for variable stars. We present V-band light curves for 22 periodic variables: 9 SX~Phe stars, 7 contact binaries, 5 detached or semi-detached…
We present results of a photometric survey for variable stars in the field of the globular cluster Omega Centauri. The observed region was centered roughly on the cluster core and covered 644 arcmin^2. The cluster was monitored on 59 nights…
We present a variable star catalog of an extensive ground-based wide-field variability survey in the globular cluster omega Centauri. Using the ANU 40-inch (1m) telescope at Siding Spring Observatory, the cluster was observed with a 52'x52'…
The central part of the globular cluster NGC 288 was surveyed in a search for short-period variable stars. We obtained the V-band light curves for 4 SX Phe stars and 2 RR Lyrae variables, five of which are new discoveries. All SX Phe stars…
