Abstract:
We use accurate absolute UCAC4 proper motions, V-band photoelectric
and CCD photometry including our own and compiled data, WISE W1-band
mid-IR photometry, as well as extensive compiled radial-velocity and
[Fe/H] data for 403 Galactic field RR Lyrae type variables to
determine the kinematical parameters of the Galactic RR Lyrae
population and constrain the zero-points of the V-, W1-, and Ks-band
period-metallicity-luminosity relations for RR Lyraes via statistical
parallax.
