The diversity of light curve variations of Blazhko stars

arXiv:1101.5099

Abstract

The ground-based Konkoly Blazhko Survey I and II aim to collect accurate, extended, multicolour light curves of galactic field RRab stars in order to determine the incidence rate of the modulation in the sample, to study the modulation in details, to study long-term changes in the modulation properties and to find changes in the mean global physical parameters of the stars with Blazhko phase. Here the diversity of light curve variations of Blazhko stars is demonstrated through a sub-sample of the modulated RRab stars found by the first part of this survey.
