Galactic orbits of RR Lyrae variable stars

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We have used published, high-accuracy, ground-based and satellite proper-motion measurements, a compilation of radial velocities, and photometric distances to compute the spatial velocities and Galactic orbital elements for 174 RR Lyrae (ab) variable stars in the solar neighborhood.

Description

The computed orbital elements and published heavy-element abundances are used to study relationships between the chemical, spatial, and kinematic characteristics of nearby RR Lyrae variables.

We observe abrupt changes of the spatial and kinematic characteristics at the metallicity [Fe/H]~-0.95 and also when the residual spatial velocities relative to the LSR cross the critical value V_res_~290km/s.
