Photometric Analysis of R Coronae Borealis stars in the Magellanic Clouds
This thesis presents the initiation of a multi-site photometric programme to examine the extraordinary behaviour displayed by 18 R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars in the Magellanic Clouds (MCs). RCB stars exhibit a unique variability whereby they undergo rapid declines of up to several magnitudes. The...
