Blazhko Effect

Steps toward the nature inside RR Lyrae variables can not only improve our understanding of variable stars but also innovate the precision when we use them as tracers to map the structure of the universe. In this work, we develop a hand-crafted one-dimensional pattern recognition pipeline to fetch out the "first apparitions", the most prominent observational characteristic of shock. We report the first detection of hydrogen emission lines in the first-overtone and multi-mode RR Lyrae variables. We find that there is an anti-correlation between the intensity and the radial velocity of the emission signal, which is possibly caused by opacity changing in the helium ionization zone. Moreover, we find one RRd star with hydrogen emission that possibly shows Blazhko-type modulations. According to our discoveries, with an enormous volume of upcoming data releases of variable stars and spectra, it may become possible to build up the bridge between shock waves and big problems like the Blazhko effect in non-fundamental mode RR Lyrae stars.

Blazhko Effect

AbstractWe provide the first detection of a frequency multiplet in the line profile variations of RR Lyrae. Performing a period analysis on 669 high resolution line profiles obtained with the spectrograph ELODIE at OHP, we clearly detect a multiplet structure, with a separation equal to the Blazhko frequency, around the main frequency and its harmonics. The triplet components are very prominent; additional observations are needed to decide about the existence of a quintuplet. The complete understanding of the origin of the Blazhko effect still needs further theoretical modelling and better observations. Our detection of the frequency multiplet in the line profile variations is a first essential step towards a decisive confrontation between the theoretical models and the observations.

AbstractBy assuming that the RR Lyrae stars have fairly strong dipole magnetic fields with the symmetry axis oblique to the rotation axis of the star, we show that the oscillation mode which would be a pure radial oscillation in absence of the magnetic field has a quadrupole component, which is axisymmetric with respect to the magnetic axis. The aspect angle of the quadrupole component changes due to the stellar rotation, and this apparent variation is interpreted as the Blazhko effect in RR Lyrae stars.

AbstractThe recent detection of a frequency splitting around the pulsation frequency and its harmonics points towards the magnetic model to explain the Blazhko effect. Here we show that it is urgent to confirm with modern observational techniques the existence of the magnetic field in RR Lyrae.

ABSTRACT We present an analysis of VI CCD time-series photometry of the Oo II type globular cluster M92. The variable star population of the cluster is studied with the aim of revising their classifications, identifications, frequency spectra, and to select indicators of the parental cluster metallicity and distance. The Fourier decomposition of RR Lyrae light curves lead to the estimation of mean [Fe/H]spec = −2.20 ± 0.18 and distance of 8.3 ± 0.2 kpc. Four new variables are reported: one RRd (V40), a multimode SX Phe (V41), an SR (V42), and one RRc (F1) that is most likely not a cluster member. The AC nature of V7 is confirmed. The double mode nature of the RRc star V11 is not confirmed and its amplitude modulations are most likely due to the Blazhko effect. Two modes are found in the known RRc variable V13. It is argued that the variable V30, previously classified as RRab is, in fact, a BL Her-type star not belonging to the cluster. Using the Gaia-DR2 proper motions, we identified 5012 stars in the field of the cluster, which are very likely cluster members, and for which we possess photometry, enabling the production of a refined colour–magnitude diagram. This also allowed us to identify a few variable stars that do not belong to the cluster. The RR Lyrae pulsation modes on the HB are cleanly separated by the first overtone red edge, a common feature in all Oo II-type clusters.

Blazhko Effect

AbstractOn the basis of a frequency analysis of light variations of AR Her a double-mode pulsation is proposed as an explanation of the Blazhko effect. The analysis revealed a number of components, which can all be interpreted as a result of nonlinear superposition of the fundamental mode, and a mode with period P = 1/(2/P0 + 1/PB) ~ P0/2, where P0 = 0d.470 and Pb = 31d.55 denote the fundamental and the Blazhko effect periods, respectively.The P ⋍ P0/2 mode can be identified as the second or the third radial overtone. In both these cases the “beat” masses derived from a comparison of the calculated (nonadiabatic) and observed period ratios for RR Lyrae variables with Blazhko effect are different from their evolutionary masses.

AbstractThe Blazhko effect is the conspicuous amplitude and phase modulation of the pulsation of RR Lyrae stars that was discovered in the early 20th century. The field of study of this mysterious modulation has recently been invigorated thanks to the space photometric missions providing long, uninterrupted, ultra-precise time-series data. In this paper I give a brief overview of the new observational findings related to the Blazhko effect, such as extreme modulations, irregular modulation cycles and additional periodicities. I argue that these findings together with dedicated ground-based efforts provide us now with a fairly complete picture and a good starting point to theoretical investigations. Indeed, new, unpredicted dynamical phenomena have been discovered in Blazhko RR Lyrae stars, such as period doubling, high-order resonances, three-mode pulsation and low-dimensional chaos. These led to the proposal of a new explanation to this century-old enigma, namely a high-order resonance between radial modes. Along these lines I present the latest efforts and advances from the theoretical point of view. Lastly, amplitude variations in Cepheids are discussed.
