RR Lyrae and Type II Cepheid Variables in Globular Clusters: Optical and Infrared Properties

Globular clusters are both primary fossils of galactic evolution and formation and are ideal laboratories for constraining the evolution of low-mass and metal-poor stars. RR Lyrae and type II Cepheid variables are low-mass, radially pulsating stars that trace old-age stellar populations. These stell...
