[46.10] Light Curves of Variable Stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud

Light curves of variable stars in the northeast portion of the Small Magellanic Cloud have been constructed using B and V images obtained with a CCD camera on the Curtis Schmidt telescope at CTIO. The light curves confirm the existence of both first overtone and fundamental mode pulsators among the SMC Cepheids. We present representative light curves and discuss the locations of the variables in the color-magnitude diagram. Comparisons are made to Cepheids in the Galaxy.
