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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

Note on e_Bmin, e_Bmax, e_Vmin, e_Vmax:
  Uncertainties in minimum and maximum magnitudes are subjective
  estimates based on the number and quality of the observations.
