Period variations in galactic RRab stars

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The theory of stellar evolution can be more closely tested if we have the opportunity to measure new quantities.

Description

Nowadays, observations of galactic RR Lyr stars are available on a time baseline exceeding 100 years. Therefore, we can exploit the possibility of investigating period changes, continuing the pioneering work started by V.P. Tsesevich in 1969.

We collected the available times of maximum brightness of the galactic RR Lyr stars in the GEOS RR Lyr database (dbrr.ast.obs-mip.fr/). Moreover, we also started new observational projects, including surveys with automated telescopes, to characterise the O-C diagrams better. The database we built has proved to be a very powerful tool for tracing the period variations through the ages.

We analyzed 123 stars showing a clear O-C pattern (constant, parabolic or erratic) by means of different least-squares methods.
