NGC 6535 / C1801-003 RA: 18:03:50.69 DEC: -00:17:48.9 (J2000) (Most recent updates: Membership probability flag - 2024; Remaining data - March 2015) ============================================================ 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 18:03:37.76 -00:16:47.9 f 0.5884 16.85 1.3 B RR0 f 2 18:03:41.39 -00:19:12.0 f 0.2735 17.15 0.5 B RR1 f ====================================================================== Supplementary Notes A CM diagram by Sarajedini (1994) shows a predominanty blue HB and significant population of blue straggler candidates. The 2010 update to the Harris (1996) catalogue lists [Fe/H] = -1.79. The RA and dec for V1 and V2 are from Samus et al. (2009) and the other elements are from Liller & Clement (1977). The field status for both variables is based on their location in the CM diagram of Liller (1980). This status was confirmed by Prudil & Arellano Ferro (2024). ======================================================================== Discovery of the variable stars in NGC 6535: V1 = MO Ser Sawyer (1953) with x,y coordinates and an ID chart V2 = MP Ser Liller & Clement (1977) with x,y coordinates and an ID chart on which both V1 and V2 were labelled. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Liller (1980) noted that star #41 (identified on an ID chart) might be variable. It lies near the RG tip in the CM diagram. ======================================================================= References Harris, W. E. 1996, AJ, 112, 1487 Liller, M. H., Clement, C.
