Zwicky Transient Facility and Globular Clusters: The Period–Luminosity and Period–Wesenheit Relations for SX Phoenicis Variables in the gri Band

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
SX Phoenicis (SXP) variables are short-period pulsating stars that exhibit a period–luminosity (PL) relation. We derived the gri -band PL and extinction-free period–Wesenheit (PW) relations, as well as the period-color and reddening-free period-Q-index ...

Time-Series Photometry of Globular Clusters: M62 (NGC 6266), the Most RR Lyrae-Rich Globular Cluster in the Galaxy?

open access: yes, 2010
We present new time-series CCD photometry, in the B and V bands, for the moderately metal-rich ([Fe/H] ~ -1.3) Galactic globular cluster (GC) M62 (NGC 6266).

Adding RR Lyrae y-Band Template Light Curves to gatspy

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We complement the y -band template light curves for RR Lyrae to the well-established template light curves in the ugriz-band, where the latter have been adopted in the astroML/gatspy python package as one of the period-search methods for RR Lyrae.

Discovery of RR Lyrae in the Ultra-faint-dwarf Galaxy Virgo III

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Virgo III is a newly discovered ultra-faint-dwarf (UFD) candidate, and finding RR Lyrae associated with this galaxy is important to constrain its distance.

Variable stars in galactic globular clusters

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
We present a comprehensive catalog of 2824 RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) residing in 115 Galactic globular clusters (GCs). Our catalog includes 1594 fundamental-mode (RRab), 824 first-overtone (RRc), and 28 double-mode (RRd) RRLs, as well as 378 RRLs of an unknown pulsation mode. We cross-matched 481 349 RRLs reported in the third Data Release (DR3) of the ESA

Benchmarking Differential Reddening in Front of Globular Clusters

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Interstellar extinction is a major obstacle in determining accurate stellar parameters from photometry near the Galactic disk. It is especially true for globular clusters at low galactic latitudes, which suffer from significant amounts of spatially ...

The impact of large-scale, long-term optical surveys on pulsating star research

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
The era of large-scale photometric variability surveys began a quarter of a century ago, when three microlensing projects - EROS, MACHO, and OGLE - started their operation.

Period doubling and Blazhko modulation in BL Herculis hydrodynamic models

open access: yes, 2012
We present the hydrodynamic BL Herculis-type models which display a long-term modulation of pulsation amplitudes and phases. The modulation is either strictly periodic or it is quasi-periodic, with the modulation period and modulation pattern varying ...

The RR Lyrae variable stars in the globular cluster IC 4499

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 1979
Periods and light curves are presented for 75 RR Lyrae variables in the globular cluster IC 4499. Of these, 52 are of the ab type with a mean period of 0.578 +- 0.009 and 23 are c type with a mean period of 0.351 +- 0.004. The cluster belongs to Oosterhoff group I (the short-period group) and has the greatest frequency of RR Lyrae variables of the ...

The RR Lyrae variables and Horizontal Branch of NGC6656 (M22)

open access: yes, 2013
The first calibrated broadband UBVI time-series photometry is presented for the RR Lyrae variable stars in NGC6656 (M22), with observations spanning a range of twenty-two years. We have also redetermined the variability types and periods for the RR Lyrae
