dSph satellites of M31. I. Variables in And XIX
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We present B, V time-series photometry of Andromeda XIX (And XIX), the most extended (half-light radius of 6.2') of Andromeda's dwarf spheroidal companions, which we observed with the Large Binocular Cameras at the Large Binocular Telescope.
Description
We surveyed a 23'x23' area centered on And XIX and present the deepest color-magnitude diagram (CMD) ever obtained for this galaxy, reaching, at V~26.3mag, about one magnitude below the horizontal branch (HB).
The CMD shows a prominent and slightly widened red giant branch, along with a predominantly red HB, which extends to the blue to significantly populate the classical instability strip. We have identified 39 pulsating variable stars, of which 31 are of RR Lyrae type and 8 are Anomalous Cepheids (ACs). Twelve of the RR Lyrae variables and three of the ACs are located within And XIX's half light radius.

The average period of the fundamental mode RR Lyrae stars (<P_ab_>{=}0.62days, {sigma}=0.03days) and the period-amplitude diagram qualify And XIX as an Oosterhoff-Intermediate system. From the average luminosity of the RR Lyrae stars (<V(RR)>=25.34mag, {sigma}=0.10mag), we determine a distance modulus of (m-M)_0_=24.52+/-0.23mag in a scale where the distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is 18.5+/-0.1mag. The ACs follow a well-defined Period-Wesenheit (PW) relation that appears to be in very good agreement with the PW relationship defined by the ACs in the LMC.
