Iron abundances derived from RR Lyrae light curves and low-dispersion spectroscopy
With the aid of the All Sky Automated Survey (ASAS) database on the Galactic field, we compare the iron abundances of fundamental mode RR Lyrae stars derived from the Fourier parameters with those obtained from low-dispersion spectroscopy. We show from a set of 79 stars, distinct from the original calibrating sample of the Fourier method and selected without quality control, that almost all dis...
متن کاملOn Metallicity And RR Lyrae Light Curves
Fourier decompositions are performed for the light curves of six RRab and 3 RRc field stars. These are added to previous work to form a sample of 61 RRab and 12 RRc pulsators. The RRab stars are divided into two groups-a short-period (SP) group with P < 0~575 and a long-period (LP) group with P > 0~575. The Fourier phase parameter CP21 is found to fall off very regularly with decreasing metalli...
متن کاملThe Light Curves of RR Lyrae Field Stars
Fourier decompositions have been made of the light curves of a large sample of RR Lyrae field stars. The coefficients have been tabulated. Following the scheme of an earlier investigation of classical Cepheids, certain combinations of the low-order coefficients+,, R,, , and -are plotted against period. The Bailey-type c pulsators stand out from the type ab stars, particularly on the R,, plot wh...
متن کاملPrincipal Component Analysis of RR Lyrae light curves
In this paper, we analyze the structure of RRab star light curves using Principal Component Analysis. We find this is a very efficient way to describe many aspects of RRab light curve structure: in many cases, a Principal Component fit with 9 parameters can describe a RRab light curve including bumps whereas a 17 parameter Fourier fit is needed. As a consequence we show show statistically why t...
متن کاملTheoretical UBVI light curves of RR Lyrae stars
By performing detailed frequency-dependent radia-tive transfer computations we have obtained UBVI light curves of nonlinear RR Lyrae models, which recently have been calculated by the Vienna nonlinear convective pulsation code. For two sets of stellar parameters (M = 0. the fundamental and the first overtone limit cycle solutions have been calculated for effective temperatures ranging from 6000...
