RR Lyrae Stars, Metal-Poor Stars, and the Galaxy

Abstract

This online book contains the proceedings of a meeting on "RR Lyrae Stars, Metal-Poor Stars, and the Galaxy" held at the Carnegie Observatories, Pasadena, California, in January 2011. The purpose of the scientific meeting was to honor the 80th year of our colleague, George W. Preston III. The book comprises the 5th volume of the Carnegie Observatories Astrophysics Series. In addition to links for each arXiv article I also include links to download the entire volume, free of charge.

Carnegie Observatories Astrophysics Series, volume 5. 22 separate articles, 295 pages
