Separation between RR Lyrae and type II Cepheids and their importance for a distance determination: the case of omega Cen

Separation between RR Lyrae and type II Cepheids and their importance for a distance determination: the case of omega Cen

The separation between RR Lyrae (RRLs) and Type II Cepheid (T2Cs) variables based on their period is debated. Both types of variable stars are distance indicators and we aim to promote the use of T2Cs as distance indicators in synergy with RRLs. We adopted new and existing optical and Near-Infrared …
