Abstract
Traditionally, cluster variables have been used as distance indicators and have in this sense played an important role in our understanding of stellar evolution. In particular, the determination of the distance moduli of globular clusters and of the absolute magnitude of the main sequence turnoff, thus yielding the ages of the cluster, have relied heavily in the past on observations of RR Lyrae stars.
