Variable stars in Local Group Galaxies - I. Tracing the early chemical enrichment and radial gradients in the Sculptor dSph with RR Lyrae stars
We identified and characterized the largest (536) RR Lyrae (RRL) sample in a Milky Way dSph satellite (Sculptor) based on optical photometry data collected over ˜24 years. The RRLs display a spread in V-magnitude (˜0.35 mag) which appears larger than photometric errors and the horizontal branch (HB) luminosity evolution of a mono-metallic
