Multi-Periodic Oscillations in Cepheids and RR Lyrae-Type Stars
Classical Cepheids and RR Lyrae-type stars are usually considered to be textbook examples of purely radial, strictly periodic pulsators. Not all the variables, however, conform to this simple picture. In this review I discuss different forms of multi-periodicity observed in Cepheids and RR Lyrae stars, including Blazhko effect and various types of radial and nonradial multi-mode oscillations.
متن کاملRr Lyrae Stars in the Macho Database
The MACHO Project has catalogued 8000 RR Lyrae stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud, 1800 in the Galactic bulge, and 50 in the Sgr dwarf galaxy. These variables are excellent distance indicators, and are used as tools to study the structure of the Large Magellanic Cloud and the bulge. The large datasets also probe uncommon pulsation modes. A number of double-mode RR Lyrae stars (RRd) are found i...
متن کاملPredicted and Empirical Radii of Rr Lyrae Stars
We present new theoretical Period-Radius-Metallicity (PRZ) relations for RR Lyrae stars. Current predictions are based on a large set of nonlinear, convective models that cover a broad range of chemical abundances and input parameters. We also provide new and homogeneous estimates of angular diameters for a sample of field RR Lyrae stars using a recent calibration of the Barnes-Evans surface br...
متن کاملOn The Masses And Luminosities Of RR Lyrae Stars
Some results are given from the comparison with observations of a large number of hydrodynamic pulsation models: (1) Linear pulsation calculations are adequate for the determination of the masses of RRd stars; (2) the Fourier phase parameter 4>31 measures the luminosity-to-mass ratio L/M1.81 for RRc stars; (3) most of the w Cen RRc stars seem to be evolved, as has previously been suggested; (4)...
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...
