RR Lyrae Variable Stars and the Distance Scale [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1978
A statistical parallax algorithm (Clube and Dave, 1978a,b), using the technique of maximum likelihood, has been applied to a set of 103 ‘ab’ - RR Lyrae stars in the solar neighborhood (r 2<kpc), using observational data from the Royal Greenwich Observatory Bulletins. A second set of 130 ‘ab’ - RR Lyrae stars has been kindly supplied to us by Dr.

Modulation of the Blazhko Cycle in LS Her

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present analysis of the RR Lyrae star, LS Her, and confirm the previously reported modulation to its Blazhko cycles. We performed Fourier analysis on two sectors (Sector 24 and 25) of data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) spanning

Little Bear’s pulsating stars: Variable star census of UMi dSph Galaxy

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Recent observations and a photometric search for variable stars in the Ursa Minor dwarf spheroidal galaxy (UMi dSph) are presented. Our observations were taken at Apache Point Observatory in 2014 and 2016 using the 0.5m ARCSAT telescope and the West ...

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

The 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 Study of Double- and Multi-mode RR Lyrae Variables

Open Astronomy, 2015
We present the results of our new study of known RR Lyrae variable stars. All observations available for these stars in the Catalina Surveys were analyzed, and double-mode variations were identified.

PLATO as it is: A legacy mission for Galactic archaeology

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 338, Issue 6, Page 644-661, July 2017., 2017
Deciphering the assembly history of the Milky Way is a formidable task, which becomes possible only if one can produce high‐resolution chrono‐chemo‐kinematical maps of the Galaxy. Data from large‐scale astrometric and spectroscopic surveys will soon provide us with a well‐defined view of the current chemo‐kinematical structure of the Milky Way, but it ...

CCD SDSS gr Photometry of Poorly Studied Star Clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud

International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
We present for the first time CCD SDSS gr photometry, obtained at the Gemini South telescope with the GMOS attached, of stars in the field of the poorly studied star clusters NGC1768, HS 85, SL 676, NGC2107, NGC2190, and SL 866, which are distributed in the main body of the Large Magellanic Cloud.

A catalogue of RR Lyrae stars from the Northern Sky Variability Survey [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2006
Abstract A search for RR Lyrae stars has been conducted in the publicly available data of the Northern Sky Variability Survey. Candidates have been selected by the statistical properties of their variation; the standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis with appropriate limits determined from a sample 314 known RRab and RRc stars listed ...

Implications and Applications of Kinematic Galaxy Scaling Relations

International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Galaxy scaling relations, which describe a connection between ostensibly unrelated physical characteristics, testify to an underlying order in galaxy formation that requires understanding. I review the development of a scaling relation that (1) unites the well‐known fundamental plane (FP) relation of giant elliptical galaxies and Tully‐Fisher (TF ...

Catalogue of variable stars in Milky Way globular clusters

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Globular cluster variable stars have been studied for more than a century. In the early investigations, more than 90% of the known variables were of the RR Lyrae type.
