Abstract:
    Photometry is presented for the RR Lyrae variables in the Large
    Magellanic Cloud (LMC) cluster NGC 1835. Sixteen new variables have
    been discovered. Due to the extreme crowding of the LMC field stars,
    the scatter of the light curves and mean magnitudes is greater than
    that found for other LMC clusters studied under similar conditions.
    The derived parameters of the light curves yield E(B-V) = 0.13 and
    [Fe/H] = -1.8, consistent with previous measurements. The complete
    sample of RR Lyraes has mean magnitudes <V> = 19.38, <B> = 19.70. If a
    distance modulus of 18.5 mag for the LMC is assumed, then in the mean
    the NGC 1835 RR Lyraes have <Mv> = 0.48, almost identical to the
    average found by the same procedure for the six other LMC clusters.

Note (1):
  1: GR1. Periods of several days are poorly constrained by the data available,
      and other periods with a frequency spacing of ~0.03 day^-1^ are possible,
      although giving noticeably poorer light-curves. With the adopted period
      the phases near maximum have been missed, even so, the star is much too
      faint to be an LMC Cepheid which would be expected to have <V> = 15.4
  2: GR2. Red variable. Mean magnitudes: HJD=2448207 (V=16.19, B=18.16),
      HJD=2448248 (V=16.89, B=18.91), HJD=2448279 (V=17.53, B=19.40)
  3: GR4. Eclipsing binary
  4: GR9. Low amplitude, noisy light-curve. The period is uncertain. A star of
      similar magnitude is at 1.5 arcsec separation.
  5: GR10. Not measured
  6: GR11. The GR period was adopted. The mean magnitudes are very faint,
      probably due to elevation of the sky by an adjacent bright star.
  7: GR12. This star is the closest known variable to the cluster center.
      Only a few measurements were possible, and these scatter badly when passed
      with the GR period, so have been discussed.
  8: GR16. Only a few useful observations, with a large phase gap.
  9: GR17. Large phase gap due to the period being almost exactly 0.5 days.
 10: GR20. GR period adopted.
 11: GR21. No such star is marked on the GR chart although a period and light
      curve are given. None of the new variables found match the period.
 12: GR37. Blended with another star. Photometry is very bright, almost
      certainly due to insufficient subtraction of the companion star.
