The RR Lyrae log (period) VS mean K magnitude relation : intrinsic scatter, applications and remaining uncertainties.
Abstract
A development status evaluation is presented for current understanding of the relation between the log (pulsation period) and mean K magnitude relation of RR Lyrae stars. Attention is given to observations for M4, the intrinsic scatter and evolution of M3, the log (P-prime) vs log (Te) relation, and application of the log (period) vs mean K magnitude relation to the distance to IC4499.
