Abstract:
Period-luminosity-metallicity (P-L-[Fe/H]) relations are presented for
RR Lyrae stars, Pop. II Cepheids, anomalous Cepheids and SX Phe stars
pulsating in the fundamental (F) and first-overtone (H) modes. The
relations were derived by fitting regression lines to the observed
pulsation periods and mean B, V, and K magnitudes of over 1200 stars in
∼40 stellar systems. Analysis of covariance methods, which allow the
simultaneous computation of more than one P-L-[Fe/H] relation, were
used to estimate the slopes and intercepts. Of the 24 possible
P-L-[Fe/H] relations for the four kind of stars, two pulsation modes,
and three passbands considered here, 18 relations have been derived --
the others could not be derived because of a lack of photometry in one
or more of the three passbands. The slopes for the F and H pulsators
were tested for departures from equality for all types of stars and
passbands; the results suggest that the observations are consistent
with the assumption that, for each kind of star (except possibly the
Pop. II Cepheids), the P-L-[Fe/H] relations for the F and H pulsation
modes are parallel but vertically offset, with a family of lines
corresponding to a range of metallicities. Pulsation modes and
absolute magnitudes are presented for the non-RR Lyrae variable stars
considered in the analysis, and distances are estimated for the program
clusters. It is well established from previous studies that the P-L
relations for RR Lyrae stars are approximately flat for the B passband,
and have a slope DeltaM(K)/DeltalogP~-2.4 for the K passband. We
recover these slopes, and find that the P-L-[Fe/H] relation in V has an
intermediate slope, Delta M(V)/DeltalogP=-0.52±0.11. A similar
dependence of slope on passband is seen for classical Cepheids [see
Madore & Freedman, PASP, 103, 933 (1991)]. The available B,V
photometry for ∼40 of the known globular cluster Cepheids are found to
be consistent with Arp's [AJ, 60, 1 (1955)] assumption that Pop. II
Cepheids pulsate in the F and H modes (and not in the F mode only, as
has often been assumed). The estimated slopes of the corresponding
P-L-[Fe/H] relations are Delta M(B)/Delta log P=-1.69±0.05 and
DeltaM(V)/DeltalogP=-1.93±0.05, with a separation between the
F and H modes of 0.59 mag in B, and 0.45 mag in V. As in the case of
the RR Lyrae stars the redder passband has the steeper slope. We find
that 15 of the 21 short-period BL Her Cepheids (P≤8days) appear to
be H pulsators, while 15 of the 19 W Cir Cepheids (12≤P≤30days)
appear to be F pulsators. The period-amplitude (P-A(B)) diagram
suggests that at a given period the first-overtone pulsators have
larger amplitudes than the fundamental mode pulsators. For the
Anomalous Cepheids the estimated P-L-[Fe/H] relations have slopes
DeltaM(B)/DeltalogP=-3.20±0.18, and DeltaM(V)/DeltalogP=-3.13±0.28.
The offsets between the F and H mode relations are 0.68 and
0.66mag in B and V, respectively. The estimated P-L-[Fe/H] relations
in B and V for the SX Phe stars have slopes
DeltaM(B)/DeltalogP=-2.66±0.52 and DeltaM(V)/DeltalogP=-2.56±0.54,
and the F and H relations are separated by 0.34 and 0.29mag in B and V,
respectively. These relations are consistent with the observed period
ratio for the double-mode star SX Phe. In a period-amplitude diagram
the longest period SX Phe stars have the largest amplitudes, with no
dependence on metallicity. The (B-V)0 color range of the SX Phe stars
is from 0.12 to 0.29.
