================================================================================
ADC_Keywords: Stars, variable; Clusters, globular; Stars, metal-deficient
Description:
Individual measurements of B and V are presented for ten RR Lyrae stars
in NGC 5053 derived from CCD frames taken on 15 nights between 1985 and 1994.
Estimates of fundamental photometric parameters are presented for the
ten stars, including mean B and V magnitudes, pulsation periods,
pulsation amplitudes, <B>-<V> colors, and period change rates.

1- 2 I2 --- Night Observing night number
5- 16 F12.4 d HJD *HJD of midpoint of observation
19- 24 F6.3 mag Vmag []? V magnitude
26- 30 F5.3 mag e_Vmag *[]? Uncertainty in Vmag
33- 38 F6.3 mag Bmag *[]? B magnitude
40- 44 F5.3 mag e_Bmag *[]? Uncertainty in Bmag
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note on HJD:
The mid-HJD of each exposure was computed using M. Fletcher's (Dominion
Astrophysical Observatory) REDSUN program.
Note on Bmag:
In file table3.dat, night 17, HJD 8416.7570, the B magnitude was
derived from I through a V-I,B-V transformation.
Note on e_Vmag, e_Bmag:
The uncertainties are lower limits since they are the quantities
returned by the photometry programs and do not include the
systematic zero-point uncertainties introduced by the transformation
from instrumental to standard magnitudes.

estimates based on the number and quality of the observations.
