Blazhko Cycles of ω Centauri RRab Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The present observational strategy of globular cluster variables does not favour long observational runs, which are needed to study the modulation properties of Blazhko type RR Lyrae stars. The only globular cluster for which we have enough data (both photographic and CCD) to determine modulation cycles of RRab stars is ω Centauri. Any connection between the modulation periods and other stellar or cluster parameters may serve as a new clue to the explanation of the Blazhko phenomenon.
