Abstract:
The results of a major search for photometrically variable blue
straggler stars (BSs) in the extremely metal-poor globular cluster NGC
5053 are presented. The survey is based on photometry of over 200 CCD
frames (BVI passbands) taken on 18 nights between 1985 and 1994. Five
of the 16 BSs monitored for variability are identified as SX Phe stars
and their photometric characteristics derived. These five stars are
among the shortest-period (49<P<57min), lowest luminosity
(3.0<~M_V<~3.3mag), smallest amplitude (0.08<~A_V<~0.25mag) SX Phe
stars presently known. Their colors and locations in both B and V
period-luminosity (P-L) diagrams suggest that four of the stars (blue
stragglers 11, 13, 14, and 15 in the Nemec & Cohen 1989 catalog
(1989ApJ...336..780N) are fundamental-mode pulsators, while the fifth
and bluest star, No. 7, appears to be a first-overtone pulsator. One
of the stars, No. 11, exhibits cycle-to-cycle light variations that
are consistent with multimode pulsations; however, not enough
photometric information is available to derive its secondary pulsation
period. Masses for the stars, estimated directly from the general
equation of stellar pulsation and relative to the RR Lyrae stars,
range from 0.53M_{sun}_ (NC7) to 1.8M_{sun}_ (NC13). The SX Phe stars
are used to derive improved P-L-[Fe/H] relations for SX Phe stars,
from which a revised distance modulus of (m-M)0=16.06 is obtained for
NGC 5053.

Note on table12.dat: All the B magnitudes from N17 were calculated from
I magnitudes through a V-I,B-V transformation.
Note on table17.dat: The following general assumptions were made:
Mbol(Sun)=+4.76; [Fe/H]=2.41dex for every star in NGC 5053;
E(B-V)=0.06, A_V=3.1xE(B-V)=0.19, A_B=4.1xE(B-V)=0.25;
Note that the periods given by NNL for the SX Phe stars were
preliminary estimates and differ slightly from those reported here.
