First results on RR Lyrae stars with the TESS space telescope: untangling the connections between mode content, colors and distances

László Molnár, Attila Bódi, András Pál +25

The TESS space telescope is collecting continuous, high-precision optical photometry of stars throughout the sky, including thousands of RR Lyrae stars. In this paper, we present r…

Photometric and radial-velocity time-series of RR Lyrae stars in M3: analysis of single-mode variables

J. Jurcsik, P. Smitola, G. Hajdu +18

We present the first simultaneous photometric and spectroscopic investigation of a large set of RR Lyrae variables in a globular cluster. The radial-velocity data presented compris…

Target selection of classical pulsating variables for space-based photometry

E. Plachy, L. Molnár, R. Szabó +2

In a few years the Kepler and TESS missions will provide ultra-precise photometry for thousands of RR Lyrae and hundreds of Cepheid stars. In the extended Kepler mission all target…

An RR Lyrae family portrait: 33 stars observed in Pisces with K2-E2

L. Molnár, R. Szabó, P. A. Moskalik +7

A detailed analysis is presented of 33 RR Lyrae stars in Pisces observed with the Kepler space telescope over the 8.9-day long K2 Two-Wheel Concept Engineering Test. The sample inc…

The space photometry revolution and our understanding of RR Lyrae stars

R. Szabó, J. M. Benkő, M. Paparó +7

The study of RR Lyrae stars has recently been invigorated thanks to the long, uninterrupted, ultra-precise time series data provided by the Kepler and CoRoT space telescopes. We gi…

An In-Depth Spectroscopic Analysis of RR Lyr Variations over the Pulsation Cycle

L. Fossati, K. Kolenberg, D. V. Shulyak +5

The stellar parameters of RR Lyrae stars vary considerably over a pulsation cycle, and their determination is crucial for stellar modelling. We present a detailed spectroscopic ana…

The historical vanishing of the Blazhko effect of RR Lyr from GEOS and Kepler surveys

J. F. Le Borgne, E. Poretti, A. Klotz +20

RR Lyr is one of the most studied variable stars. Its light curve has been regularly monitored since the discovery of the periodic variability in 1899. Analysis of all observed max…

What is the difference? Blazhko and non-Blazhko RRab stars and the special case of V123 in M3

J. Jurcsik, P. Smitola, G. Hajdu +10

In an extended photometric campaign of RR Lyrae variables of the globular cluster M3, an aberrant light-curve, non-Blazhko RRab star, V123, was detected. Based on its brightness, c…

Periodicity search as a tool for disentangling the contaminated colour light curve of CoRoT 102781750

M. Paparó, M. Chadid, E. Chapellier +8

The star CoRoT102781750 reveals a puzzle, showing a very complex and altering variation in different `CoRoT colours'. We established without doubt that more than a single star was…

How to Correctly Stitch Together {\it Kepler} Data of a Blazhko Star

L. Çelik, F. Ekmekçi, J. Nemec +6

One of the most challenging difficulties that precedes the frequency analysis of {\it Kepler} data for a Blazhko star is stitching together the data from different seasons (quarter…
