RR Lyrae Stars and Anomalous Cepheids in the Draco Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy

Abstract

Description

We present new results on RR Lyrae stars and anomalous Cepheids in the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We have increased the number of double-mode RR Lyrae stars and found three new anomalous Cepheids. With period-magnitude and period-amplitude diagrams, we discuss the Oosterhoff classification of Draco. Contradictory results were found in that Draco appears to contain both Oosterhoff I and II type RR Lyrae populations.
