Variable stars in M92

DOI

The distance modulus of M92 is determined from the bright stars and the mean magnitude of 12 cluster-type variables. From the former, m-M=14.93; and from the latter, m-M=14.94+/-0.01. Two variables not belonging to the cluster are indicated, as well as two other stars with range in variation of 0.25mag, which are marked as probable variables. From star counts, the ratio of the minor to the major axis is found to be 0.85, with a position angle of the major axis of 28{deg}. Sensitometer tracings give 14' for the diameter of the cluster.
