Abstract:
We use accurate absolute proper motions and Two-Micron All-Sky Survey
Ks -band apparent magnitudes for 364 Galactic RR Lyrae variables to
determine the kinematical parameters of the Galactic RR Lyrae
population and constrain the zero-point of the Ks-band
period-luminosity relation for these stars via statistical parallax.
Description:
File table.dat contains the names and main observed parameters of 391
Galactic RR Lyrae type variables (precise coordinates, periods and
types of variability, metallicties, intensity-mean K-band magnitudes,
total extinction in the V band, systemic radial velocities and their
standard errors, and absolute proper motions and their standard
errors) and the sources of the corresponding data.
Warning! The catalog as it was at CDS prior to 07-Feb-2013 had
incorrectly sorted Per (variability period, bytes 33-38) and RRt
(variability type, bytes 40-41) columns.
