Supplementary Notes
A CM diagram by Cohen et al. (2014) shows a well populated blue HB with
an extended tail and a centrally concentrated blue straggler population.
The 2010 update to the Harris (1996) catalogue lists [Fe/H] = -1.40.
In the above table, the RA and dec are from Samus et al. (2009). The
data for V1 are from the discovery paper by Hazen (1993).

Notes on individual stars
V2: This variable was also recovered in the OGLE III survey of
RR Lyrae Star in the Galactic Bulge (Soszynski et al. 2011) where
it is listed as OGLE-BLG-RRLYR-13867. The period listed in the
above table is from the OGLE IV study (Soszynski et al 2014). The
remaining data are from Hazen (1993).
According to Hazen, the star's membership status is uncertain.
At r ~ 2.7 arcminutes from the cluster centre, it is beyond the
tidal radius which is ~ 2.15 arcminutes according to the 2010 update
to the Harris (1996) catalogue.

Discovery of the variable stars in NGC 6544:
V1-2
Hazen (1993) with x,y coordinates, 1950 RA & dec, and an ID chart
She also identified two field variables: F1 and F2.
PSR: According to Paulo Freire's website at the Max Planck
Institute in Bonn (July 2024 version), there are
3 millisecond pulsars in NGC 6544.
