The RR Lyrae Luminosity Metallicity Relation Revisited

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We utilize a set of internally consistent absolute ages for a sample of ten Galactic globular clusters to determine the variation of the slope with the zero point of the M _V (RR) ∼ [Fe/H] relation for RR Lyrae variables.

RR Lyrae Stars as Seen by the Kepler Space Telescope

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Asteroseismological Analysis of the Non-Blazhko RRab Star EPIC 248846335 in the LAMOST–Kepler/K2 Project

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We conduct an asteroseismological analysis on the non-Blazhko ab-type RR Lyrae star EPIC 248846335, employing the Radial Stellar Pulsations module of the Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics based on the set of stellar parameters.

The population of variable stars in M54 (NGC6715)

open access: yes, 2010
We present new B, V and I CCD time-series photometry for 177 variable stars in a 13'X 13' field centered on the globular cluster M54 (lying at the center of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy), 94 of which are newly identified variables.

A Preliminary Discussion of the Kinematics of BHB and RR Lyrae Stars near the North Galactic Pole [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
The radial velocity dispersion of 67 RR Lyrae variable and blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars that are more than 4 kpc above the galactic plane at the North Galactic Pole is 110 km/sec and shows no trend with Z (the height above the galactic plane). Nine

Faint (and bright) variable stars in the satellites of the Milky Way

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
I describe two ongoing projects related with variable stars in the satellites of the MilkyWay. In the first project, we are searching for dwarf Cepheid stars (a.k.a δ Scuti and/or SX Phe) in some of the classical dwarf spheroidal galaxies. Our goal is to

Search for high-amplitude Delta Scuti and RR Lyrae stars in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82 using principal component analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We propose a robust principal component analysis (PCA) framework for the exploitation of multi-band photometric measurements in large surveys. Period search results are improved using the time series of the first principal component due to its optimized ...

Pulsating star research and the Gaia revolution

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
In this article we present an overview of the ESA Gaia mission and of the unprecedented impact that Gaia will have on the field of variable star research.

Variable stars in the globular cluster M28 (NGC 6626)

open access: yes, 2012
We present a new search for variable stars in the Galactic globular cluster M28 (NGC 6626). The search is based on a series of BVI images obtained with the SMARTS Consortium's 1.3m telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, Chile.

Horizontal Branch Stars: The Interplay between Observations and Theory, and Insights into the Formation of the Galaxy

open access: yes, 2009
We review HB stars in a broad astrophysical context, including both variable and non-variable stars. A reassessment of the Oosterhoff dichotomy is presented, which provides unprecedented detail regarding its origin and systematics.
