We present results on the study of the variable stars and stellar populations of the Andromeda IX (And IX) dwarf spheroidal companion of M31, based on g', r' time-series photometry we obtained as part of our ESO Large Program 186.D-2013 at the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC; PI G. Clementini). More than twenty RR Lyrae stars were discovered in And I...

... are mainly RR Lyrae stars. As an example of the quality of the data, in Figure 2 we show the g -band light curves of a fundamental mode (RRab) and of a first overtone (RRc) RR Lyrae of And IX. The two variable stars have periods of 0.65 and 0.30 days, respectively. ...

The putative host galaxy of FRB 20171020A was first identified as ESO 601-G036 in 2018, but as no repeat bursts have been detected, direct confirmation of the host remains elusive. In light of recent developments in the field, we re-examine this host and determine a new association confidence level of 98%. At 37 Mpc, this makes ESO 601-G036 the thi...

[ABRIDGED] $\omega$ Centauri (NGC 5139) contains large numbers of variable stars of different types and, in particular, more than a hundred RR Lyrae stars. We have conducted a variability survey of $\omega$ Cen in the NIR, using ESO's 4.1m Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). This is the first paper of a series describing ou...

We describe and summarize the findings from our CCD time-series photometry of globular clusters (GCs) program and the use of difference image analysis (DIA) in the extraction of very precise light curves even in the crowded central regions down to $V\sim 19$ mag. We have discovered approximately 250 variable stars in a sample of 23 selected GCs and...

We present results of a search for variable stars in a region of the globular cluster NGC 4147 based on photometric observations with a 4K × 4K CCD imager mounted at the axial port of the recently installed 3.6 m Devasthal optical telescope at Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences, Nainital, India. We performed time series photome...

The VISTA survey of the Magellanic Clouds System (VMC) is collecting deep $K_\mathrm{s}$--band time--series photometry of the pulsating variable stars hosted in the system formed by the two Magellanic Clouds and the Bridge connecting them. In this paper we have analysed a sample of 130 Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) Type II Cepheids (T2CEPs) found in...
