Look at the Blazhko Effect in R R Lyrae Stars with High - Quality Data from the M A C H O Project

چکیده
We present the first results of the analysis of 22 Blazhko stars. We find: 1) Blazhko RRab stars that are nearly pure amplitude modulators; 2) Blazhko RRab stars that have both amplitude and phase modulation; 3) A Blazhko RRab star that has an abrupt period change; 4) Proof of the Blazhko effect in RRc stars. Our data show the character of the amplitude and phase modulations of the light curves over the Blazhko cycles far better than has been previously possible.

A significant fraction of RR Lyrae stars exhibits amplitude and/or phase modulation known as the the Blazhko effect. The oscillation spectra suggest that, at least in most of the cases, excitation of nonradial modes in addition to the dominant radial modes is responsible for the effect. Though model calculations predict that nonradial modes may be excited, there are problems with explaining the...
متن کاملSe p 20 04 A multi - color and Fourier study of RR Lyrae variables in the globular cluster
We have performed a detailed study of the pulsational and evolutionary characteristics of 133 RR Lyrae stars in the globular cluster NGC5272 (M3) using highly accurate BVI data taken on 5 separate epochs. M3 seems to contain no less than ∼32% of Blazhko stars, and the occurrence and characteristics of the Blazhko effect have been analyzed in detail. We have identified a good number (∼ 14%) of o...
متن کاملCatalog of fundamental mode RR Lyrae stars in the Galactic bulge from the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment
We present a catalog of 1888 distinct fundamental-mode RR Lyrae stars detected in the Galactic bulge fields of the second phase of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE), covering an area near 11 deg. These stars were selected primarily according to their light curve morphologies. The catalog includes basic parameters of the light curves, significant frequencies detected close to t...
متن کاملIs the Blazhko Effect the Beating of a Near-resonant Double-mode Pulsation?
In this paper it is shown that the Blazhko Effect may result from a near-resonant type of double-mode pulsation, where two periodic oscillations with slightly different frequencies gradually slip in phase by one pulsation cycle every Blazhko cycle, producing a beat frequency type of modulation. One of the oscillations is strongly non-sinusoidal while the other is not. This paper extends previou...
متن کاملIrregularities in atmospheric pulsations of RR Lyrae stars
From high spectral resolution observations of the Fe II line at 4923.921Å, it is shown that the star RR Lyrae shows significant differences, both in radial velocity and in line FWHM, from one pulsation cycle to the next. Two explanations are discussed. The first one is the multiperiodic character of the pulsation (Blazhko effect) which was recently detected (Chadid et al. 1999). In this case, t...
