Multicolour CCD photometry of the variable stars in globular cluster M3 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We present time series data on the variable stars of the galactic globular cluster Messier 3 (M3). We give BVI light curves for 226 RR Lyrae, 2 SX Phe and 1 W Vir type variables, along with estimated fundamental photometric parameters such as intensity ...

Pulsating stars in the VMC survey

open access: yesEPJ 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

open access: yesThe 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.

Relationship between the Elemental Abundances and the Kinematics of Galactic-Field RR Lyrae Stars

open access: yes, 2017
Data of our compiled catalog containing the positions, velocities, and metallicities of 415 RR~Lyrae variable stars and the relative abundances [el/Fe] of 12~elements for 101 RR~Lyrae stars, including four $\alpha$~elements (Mg, Ca, Si, and Ti), are used

Pulsation Properties of Blazhko and Non-Blazhko RRab Stars

open access: yesThe 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

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

Concerning the Distance to the Center of the Milky Way and its Structure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The distance to the Galactic center inferred from OGLE RR Lyrae variables observed in the direction of the bulge is Ro=8.1+-0.6 kpc. An accurate determination of Ro is hindered by countless effects that include an ambiguous extinction law, a bias for ...

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 ...
