Abstract
We report results of VI time series photometry for the bright globular cluster M5 taken between 2007-2011 using the 0.5-m telescope at Bowling Green State Univ. and the PROMPT #4 telescope at Cerro Tololo. We used DAOPHOT to obtain photometry to a limiting magnitude of V~19 mag. A search for variable stars using the DAOMASTER variability index enabled us to recover the three known bright variables (two Cepheids and one red, long period variable, or LPV) and many known RR Lyrae stars, and to discover as many as thirteen new, low-amplitude LPVs. We present light curves of several stars and analyze periods and amplitudes where applicable.
