Variable Stars In Globular Clusters
I work as part of a collaboration which aims to study the variable stars in Galactic globular clusters. We routinely discover new variables
in the crowded central regions of these clusters using difference image analysis (DIA) and we analyse the variable star light curves in order to
study the properties of the variables themselves and of the clusters in which they reside. Below I list our variable star discoveries
for the clusters that we have studied. The clusters are listed in alpha-numerical order. The information on our own discoveries is up to date
as of 01/02/2018. With regards to subsequent discoveries by other investigators, I have not updated this information since 01/02/2018.

- We reclassified V112 as a semi-regular variable.
- Montiel & Mighell (2010) presented 33 RR Lyrae star candidates that lie within the field-of-view of our study.
We found that 3 of these stars are previously known RR Lyraes, and we confirmed the variable nature of a further 22 candidates. However,
we did not detect variability in the remaining 8 candidates.
- McDonald et al. (2014) presented 18 variable star candidates that lie within the field-of-view of our study. We confirmed the variable
nature of 2 of these candidates, but we did not detect variability in the others.
- Our data are on CDS.

- Hamanowicz et al. (2016) classified some of their independently discovered variables differently to our classifications for the same stars.
Specifically, they classified V214,
V220,
V263,
V284,
V285 and
V289 as RR0 stars. They classified
V291 as an RR1 star. They classified
V230 as a Population II Cepheid (BL Herculis). Finally, they classified
V271,
V273,
V274,
V275,
V279,
V280,
V286 and
V287 as semi-regular variables.
- Hamanowicz et al. (2016) discovered the new variables V292-V347. Most of these variables are outside the field-of-view of
our previous study.
- Soszynski et al. (2014; 2016) discovered the new variables V348-V352. All of these variables are outside the field-of-view of
our previous study.

These variables are all outside the field-of-view of our previous studies.
- Amigo et al. (2013) found that V38 is a non-variable star.
We had not been able to study this star because it was close to a brighter saturated star in our data.
- Amigo et al. (2013) found that V39 is a field RR0 variable star behind the cluster. We had not detected variability in this star.
- Amigo et al. (2013) found that V42 is a variable star but they were unable to classify it. This star was saturated in our data.
- Amigo et al. (2013) confirmed our classification of V44 and V51 as RR0 stars.
- Amigo et al. (2013) reclassified V45 as an RR1 star. We had tentatively classified this variable as an RR0 star.
