    Extended Aperture Photometry of K2 RR Lyrae stars
    The Kepler Space Telescope observed thousands of RR Lyrae stars in the K2 mission. In this paper, we present our photometric solutions using extended apertures...

    Identifying RR Lyrae Variable Stars in Six Years of the Dark Energy Survey
    We present a search for RR Lyrae stars using the full six-year data set from the Dark Energy Survey covering ∼5000 deg 2 of the southern sky. Using a multistage...

    Metallicity of Galactic RR Lyrae from Optical and Infrared Light Curves. I. Period-Fourier-Metallicity Relations for Fundamental-mode RR Lyrae
    We present newly calibrated period-φ 31-[Fe/H] relations for fundamental-mode RR Lyrae stars in the optical and, for the first time, mid-infrared. This work's...

    Metallicity of Galactic RR Lyrae from Optical and Infrared Light Curves. II. Period-Fourier-Metallicity Relations for First Overtone RR Lyrae
    We present new period-ϕ 31-[Fe/H] relations for first-overtone RRL stars (RRc), calibrated over a broad range of metallicities (-2.5 ≲ [Fe/H] ≲ 0.0) using the...

    New Theoretical Period-Luminosity-Metallicity Relations for RR Lyrae in the Rubin-LSST Filters
    The revolutionary power of future Rubin-LSST observations will allow us to significantly improve the physics of pulsating stars, including RR Lyrae. In this...

    On the Metamorphosis of the Bailey Diagram for RR Lyrae Stars
    We collected over 6000 high-resolution spectra of four dozen field RR Lyrae (RRL) variables pulsating either in the fundamental (39 RRab) or in the first...

    On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes. II. A New ΔS Calibration to Estimate Their Metallicity
    We performed the largest and most homogeneous spectroscopic survey of field RR Lyraes (RRLs). We secured ≍6300 high-resolution (HR, R ∼ 35,000) spectra for 143...

    On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes. III. The α-element Abundances
    We provide the largest and most homogeneous sample of α-element (Mg, Ca, Ti) and iron abundances for field RR Lyrae (RRLs; 162 variables) by using high...
