Variable Stars in MC Clusters. II

V and I band CCD imaging spanning more than 5 years in a 10'x10' field surrounding the cluster has allowed us to identify more than 30 variable stars, including seven classical Cepheids, one anomalous Cepheid, two RR Lyrae variables, 19 long-period variables (LPVs), one blue eclipsing binary, one possible pair of eclipsing giants, and several peculiar variables.

The only likely cluster member is a Cepheid. Isochrone fitting to the cluster CMD yields an age of 80 Myr if an LMC distance modulus of 18.5 is adopted. A comparison of pulsation and evolution masses for the Cepheids still yields a ratio of evolution to pulsation mass of ~1.2 for evolution models computed with core overshoot parameter Lambda = 0.5, where Lambda = 2d_ov/H_p, d_ov is the distance that convection overshoots beyond the Schwarzschild boundary and H_p is the pressure scale height.
