The Effect of Metallicity on Pulsations in B-Type Stars in the Magellanic Clouds... 

Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) are less abundant in heavy elements than the Galaxy (Zlmc = 0.008, Zsmc = 0.004), but they have relatively well-known distance and small interstellar absorption. These galaxies are among the best objects for the study of dependencies of different astrophysical parameters on metallicity. 

Time-series photometry OGLE-II photometry in 32 fields in Magellanic Clouds (Soszyriski et al. 2002) supplemented, if available, by the MACHO photometry (Allsman Axelrod 2001) for interesting stars. 

Abstract. We have performed the chemical analysis of extragalactic carbon stars from VLT/UVES spectra. The derived individual abundances of metals and s-elements as well as the well known distance of the selected stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud and the Sagittarius dwarf galaxies permit us to test current models of stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis during the Asymptotic Giant Branch phase in low metallicity environments.
