Photometric Metallicity and Distance Estimates for ∼70,000 RR Lyrae Stars from the Zwicky Transient Facility

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Utilizing Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) data and existing RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) catalogs, this study achieves the first calibration of the P − ϕ _31 − R _21 − [Fe/H] and P − ϕ _31 − A _2 − A _1 − [Fe/H] relations in the ZTF photometric system for RRab ...

Stellar Variability and Distance Indicators in the Near-infrared in Nearby Galaxies. I. RR Lyrae and Anomalous Cepheids in Draco Dwarf Spheroidal

The Astronomical Journal
The Draco Dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy is one of the nearest and the most dark-matter-dominated satellites of the Milky Way. We obtained multiepoch near-infrared (NIR, JHK _s ) observations of the central region of Draco dSph covering a sky area of ∼21′

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey. XXXVII. Distant RR Lyrae Stars and the Milky Way Stellar Halo Out to 300 kpc

The Astrophysical Journal
RR Lyrae stars are standard candles with characteristic photometric variability and serve as powerful tracers of Galactic structure, substructure, accretion history, and dark matter content.

Stellar Pulsation and Evolution: A Combined Theoretical Renewal and Updated Models (SPECTRUM). I. Updating Radiative Opacities for Pulsation Models of Classical Cepheid and RR-Lyrae

The Astrophysical Journal
Pulsating stars are universally recognized as precise distance indicators and tracers of stellar populations. Their variability, combined with well-defined relationships between pulsation properties and intrinsic evolutionary parameters such as ...

RW Arietis; an RR Lyrae Variable Star in an Eclipsing System [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1971
AbstractRW Arietis was observed photoelectrically in the UBV-system during fall and winter 1966 with the 70 cm telescope at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory Catalina station, University of Arizona, Tucson, on 19 nights. Peculiar variations of the usually stable RRc light curve observed on three nights can be interpreted as a superposition of the RR ...

Caught in the Act: Observations of the Double-mode RR Lyrae V338 Boo during the Disappearance of a Pulsation Mode

The Astrophysical Journal
New results on the behavior of the double-mode RR Lyrae V338 Boo are presented. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) observed this star again in 2022, and an observing campaign of the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO ...

Classification of Periodic Variable Stars from TESS

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
The number of known periodic variable stars has increased rapidly in recent years. As an all-sky transit survey, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) plays an important role in detecting low-amplitude variable stars.

Candidate RR Lyrae Associated with the Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxy Aquarius III

The Astronomical Journal
We report the search of RR Lyrae in the vicinity of a newly discovered ultrafaint dwarf galaxy, Aquarius III. Based on the known RR Lyrae catalogs and gri -band light curves retrieved from public archives, we identified a RR Lyrae with distance ...
