CCD PHOTOMETRY OF RR LYRAE STARS IN M5 AS A TEST FOR THE PULSATIONAL SCENARIO
arXiv:astro-ph/9505112 · doi:10.1086/117827
Abstract
In this paper we present new CCD investigations of RR Lyrae pulsators in the Oo.I globular cluster M5. B V curves of light for 15 RR Lyrae are presented. With the addition of further 11 curves of light by Storm, Carney and Beck (1991) one is dealing with a sample of 26 well studied cluster pulsators whose properties have been implemented with similar data for RR Lyrae in clusters M3, M15, M68 to allow a comparison with the theoretical scenario recently presented by Bono and Stellingwerf (1994). On this basis, we discuss the distribution of stars in the period amplitude diagram, disclosing a substantial reduction of Sandage's period shift. We suggest that theoretical constraints concerning periods and amplitudes could allow information on masses and luminosity of the pulsators directly from Bailey's diagram only. Static temperatures have been derived for all stars in the sample, discussing the dependence on the temperature of the observed pulsational properties.
