Notes. Counts for Cepheids correspond to the number of sources in the LMC, SMC, and All-Sky regions defined in Sect. 2. Counts forthe RR Lyrae correspond to the number of sources in regions defined by taking into account where the number density of RR Lyrae stars in the LMC and SMC drops and becomes comparable to the counts in the field.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
