UKS 1 / C1751-241 RA: 17:54:27.2 DEC: -24:08:43 (J2000) (Most recent updates: Membership probability flag - 2024; Remaining data - July 2016) ============================================================ 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 ========================================================================= No known variables. ====================================================================== Supplementary Notes UKS 1 is a faint globular cluster in the bulge. Origlia et al. (2005) derived [Fe/H] = -0.78 from near-infrared photometry and high resolution spectroscopy. Using HST/NICMOS and NTT/SOFI infrared photometry, Ortolani et al. (2007) derived a distance that indicated that UKS1 is beyond the Galactic centre. UKS2 = BH 66 = ESO 166-SC11 (RA = 09:25.3, Dec = -54:53, J2000) was long thought to be a globular cluster. However, Bica et al. (2000) showed that UKS 2 is an open cluster with age comparable to that of the Hyades. ====================================================================== References Bica, E., Ortolani, S., Barbuy, B. 2000, A&AS, 145, 399 Origlia, L., Valenti, E., Rich, R.
