RR Lyrae the Stellar Beacons of the Galactic Structure
Giuseppe Bono, Massimo Dall'Ora, Filippina Caputo +5
We present some recent findings concerning the use of RR Lyrae as distance indicators and stellar tracers. We outline pros and cons of field and cluster RR Lyrae stars and discuss…

On the period distribution of cluster RR Lyrae stars to constrain their helium content: the case of omega Centauri
Marcella Marconi, Giuseppe Bono, Filippina Caputo +3
We present new sets of nonlinear, time-dependent convective hydrodynamical models of RR Lyrae stars assuming two metal (Z=0.0005, Z=0.001) and three helium abundances (Y=0.24, 0.30…
