(2005, PASP 117, 1325) unless otherwise indicated in the notes. NGC 4147 might be connected with the Sgr dwarf galaxy, but according to Jordi & Grebel (2010), there is still some debate about this. ===================================================================== Notes on individual stars V18: Period, magnitude and amplitude from Arellano Ferro et al.
