Description
We present new UBVI CCD observations of the old LMC globular cluster
RETICULUM. These data allowed us to re-determine periods and light
curves and to identify 4 double mode RR Lyrae stars. A comparison with
the theoretical instability strip in the M_V-log P plane shows good
agreement between theory and observations when an apparent distance
modulus of (m-M)=18.45+-0.12 mag (i.e.(m-M)_0=18.39+-0.12 mag) is
assumed.
