SX Phoenicis variables are found primarily in globular clusters and galactic halos. The variability cycle has a period-luminosity relation. All known SX Phoenicis variables in globular clusters are blue straggler stars. These are stars that appear more blue (having a higher temperature) than the main sequence stars in the same cluster that have similar luminosities.
