R.J. Sanders, I. Serraj, P.C. Schmidtke, A. Udalski
TL;DR
This study analyzes OGLE-III photometry of stars in NGC 299, identifying eclipsing binaries and a probable Be star, while noting the absence of low-amplitude pulsating variables, contrasting with other young SMC clusters.
Contribution
First detailed photometric analysis of NGC 299 revealing its variable star population and unique absence of low-amplitude pulsators.
Findings
Identified two eclipsing binaries.
Detected one likely Be star.
No low-amplitude pulsating variables found.
Abstract
We have analyzed OGLE-III photometry for stars in the SMC cluster NGC 299. Two eclipsing binaries and one intrinsic variable (most likely a Be star) are identified. Unlike other young SMC clusters, no low-amplitude pulsating variables are present.
