    RR Lyrae in LMC Globular Clusters: Insights into the Oosterhoff Phenomenon and Milky Way Formation
    (2011) Kuehn, Charles A., III; Smith, H. A.; Catelan, Marcio; Taylor, L.; McClellan, R. E.; Looper, K.; DeLee, N.; Pritzl, B. J.
    We present results from a study of RR Lyrae stars in five globular clusters located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The goal of this study was to look at the behavior and properties of RR Lyrae stars in Oosterhoff-intermediate globular clusters and compare them to RR Lyrae in Oosterhoff I and II clusters. New BVI photometric observations of these clusters were obtained with the SMARTS consortium telescopes and with the SOAR 4-meter telescope. We present light curves and Fourier properties for the RR Lyrae stars in our study as well as physical properties for these stars derived from their Fourier parameters. We compare these physical properties to those of RR Lyrae in Milky Way halo globular clusters and discuss implications for Milky Way halo formation....
