Highlights on eclipsing binary variables from Araucaria Project

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
The Araucaria Project, which main goal is to provide precise determination of the cosmic distance scale, has recently made a set of discoveries involving variable stars in binary systems. Among these discoveries we highlight three: 1% precise measurement

On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes. V. Optical and Radial Velocity Curve Templates

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2021
We collected the largest spectroscopic catalog of RR Lyrae (RRLs) including ≈20,000 high-, medium-, and low-resolution spectra for ≈10,000 RRLs. We provide the analytical forms of radial velocity curve (RVC) templates.

The Absolute Luminosity of RR Lyrae Variables [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1988
We have taken UBVRI photoelectric photometry and CORAVEL radial velocities for 6 field RR Lyraes, i.e. SW And, YZ Cap, SW Dra, SS For, RV Phe and V440 Sgr, with the purpose of applying the Baade-Wesselink (B-W) method and determining their absolute magnitudes.

Discovery of RR Lyrae in the Ultra-faint-dwarf Galaxy Virgo III

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Virgo III is a newly discovered ultra-faint-dwarf (UFD) candidate, and finding RR Lyrae associated with this galaxy is important to constrain its distance.

Two Different Weak Modulations in ab-type RR Lyrae Variable V838 Cyg, and Potential Influence of Metal Abundance on Blazhko Modulation

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Noting the weakest modulation and relatively high metal abundance of the ab-type RR Lyrae star V838 Cyg, we collected the photometric data of this star from several sky surveys to carry out an in-depth analysis. The O − C diagram shows that the pulsation

The GFCAT: A Catalog of Ultraviolet Variables Observed by GALEX with Subminute Resolution

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
We have performed the first systematic search of the full Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) data archive for astrophysical variability on timescales of seconds to minutes by rebinning data across the whole mission to 30 s time resolution.

RR Lyrae Variables in the Crater II Dwarf Galaxy [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2018
Abstract We report the detection of RR Lyrae variable stars in Crater II, a recently discovered large and diffuse satellite dwarf galaxy of the Milky Way (MW). Based on B, V time-series photometry obtained with the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network 1.6 m telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, we identified 83 ab-type ...

A Search of Periodic Variable Stars in the LMC by JWST Photometry

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Based on high-resolution near-infrared photometric data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) targeting the Large Magellanic Cloud, this study attempts to evaluate the feasibility and sensitivity limits of variable star detection in crowded stellar ...
