Photometric Metallicity and Distance Estimates for ∼136,000 RR Lyrae Stars from Gaia Data Release 3

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a sample of 135,873 RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) with precise photometric metallicity and distance estimates from our newly calibrated P – ϕ _31 – R _21 –[Fe/H]/ P – R _21 –[Fe/H] and G -band absolute magnitude–metallicity relations.

RADIATIVE TRANSFER EFFECTS ON THE COLORS OF RR LYRAE STARS

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
The methods of Davis and Cox (1980), are applied to a series of models described by Bono and Stellingwerf  (1994) to deter-mine the colors of RR Lyrae stars.

Search for the Blazhko Effect in Field RR Lyrae Stars Using LINEAR and ZTF Light Curves

The Astronomical Journal
We analyzed the incidence and properties of RR Lyrae stars that show evidence for amplitude and phase modulation (the so-called Blazhko Effect) in a sample of ∼3000 stars with LINEAR and ZTF light curve data collected during the periods of 2002–2008 and ...

Highlights on eclipsing binary variables from Araucaria Project

EPJ 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

Search of Short-Period Pulsating Variables(I) [PDF]

Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 1996
CCD differential photometry was carried out for seven stars in the "New Catalogue of Suspected Variable Stars" in order to discover new short-period pulsating variables such as low and high amplitude δ Scuti stars and RR Lyrae stars.

Pulsating stars in the VMC survey

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
The VISTA survey of the Magellanic Clouds system (VMC) began observations in 2009 and since then, it has collected multi-epoch data at Ks and in addition multi-band data in Y and J for a wide range of stellar populations across the Magellanic system ...

Precise Empirical Determination of Metallicity Dependence of Near-infrared Period–Luminosity Relations for RR Lyrae Variables

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
RR Lyrae variables are excellent Population II distance indicators thanks to their well-defined period–luminosity relations (PLRs) at infrared wavelengths.

Pulsation Properties of Blazhko and Non-Blazhko RRab Stars

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
In this study, we conduct a comparative analysis of the properties of Blazhko and non-Blazhko RRab stars. We identified 1054 non-Blazhko and 785 Blazhko RRab stars in the photometric data observed by the K2 mission, which, combined with those 37 stars ...

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

The 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

RR Lyrae Stars as Seen by the Kepler Space Telescope

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
The unprecedented photometric precision along with the quasi-continuous sampling provided by the Kepler space telescope revealed new and unpredicted phenomena that reformed and invigorated RR Lyrae star research.
