Stars: Variable, Photometry: Infrared, Radial Velocities

Scientific paper

We present an infrared K-band light curve and a radial velocity curve for the RR Lyrae star V9 in the metal rich globular cluster 47 Tucanae ([Fe/H]=-0.71). Combining these new data with the optical photometry presented in Carney et al. (1993PASP..105..294C), we perform a Baade-Wesselink analysis and derive a distance modulus of 47 Tuc of 13.23mag+/-0.17 and absolute mean magnitudes of =0.32mag and =-0.57mag for V9. We also present a well populated visual-infrared color-magnitude diagram of the cluster, reaching from the upper red giant branch to the subgiant branch. (3 data files).
