... The observed frames for the standard stars in the 2006 observing season were not reliable because the filter wheel suffered an unspecified slippage during the observations, and it became impossible for us to identify the ...
... It is interesting to compare the metallicities of different stellar populations in Sextans B. The metal- licity of old stars, [F e/H] = −2.1 dex, was obtained by Grebel et al. [4] via a comparison of the red giant branch ...

... Observations of NGC 6101 were taken in the V and I bands by the Faulkes Telescope South over two main seasons: one over August and September 2010 and a further season to help refine the periods in April 2011. Aperture ...
... We present time-series BV I photometry for the Galactic globularcluster NGC 6402 (M14). The data con- sists of ∼137 images per filter, obtained using the 0.9m and 1.0m SMARTS telescopes at the Cerro Tololo ...
