The Lack of RR Lyrae Variables in Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxy Sextans II

RR Lyrae in ultrafaint dwarf (UFD) galaxies, if found, would be valuable to constrain the distances of these UFD. In this work, we report our search of RR Lyrae in a recently discovered UFD—Sextans II. Based on multiband (griz) time-series archival DECam imaging data, we do not find any RR Lyrae in...
