Lynga 7 / C1607-551 RA: 16:11:03.65 DEC: -55:19:04.0 (J2000) (Most recent updates: Membership probability flag - 2024; Remaining data - February 2011) ============================================================ Bytes Format Explanation 1-8 A8 Star ID 10-32 A11,1x,A11 Position 34-35 A2 Membership probability flag based on data published by Prudil & Arellano Ferro (2024) m1: prob >=0.85; m2: prob >=0.7 and <0.85; m3: prob >= 0.5 and <0.7; f: prob <0.5 u: no data available 37-44 F8.4 Period (days) 46-51 F6.3 Mean magnitude (or maximum magnitude if "max" is indicated in the remarks column) 53-57 F5.3 Light amplitude (range of variability) 59 A1 Colour for mean magnitude and amplitude e.g. B, V, R, I, J, K or P (for photographic). 61-65 A5 Type of variable (draft 2006 GCVS classifications) CST denotes non variable stars previously designated as variables 67-80 A19 Notes and Remarks (f denotes field star) "--" or "----" indicates no data available ========================================================================= ID Position Mem Period ampl C Type Notes/ RA Dec Flag Remarks ========================================================================= 1 16:11:02.05 -55:19:13.5 u 551.0 7.25 1.22 K M ====================================================================== Supplementary Notes This was thought to be an open cluster until Ortolani et al. (1993) showed it to be a thick disk globular cluster. A VI CM diagram by Sarajedini et al. (2007) shows a prominent HB red clump. The data listed for V1 are from Sloan et al. (2010) who conclude that it is a carbon star, but probably a cluster member. ==================================================================== Discovery of the Variable Stars in Lynga 7 V1 Sloan et al.
