Observations and Analysis of Three Field RR Lyrae Stars Selected Using Single epoch SDSS Data

TL;DR

This study reports detailed light curve analysis of three RR Lyrae stars identified from single-epoch SDSS data, providing their periods, amplitudes, and Fourier analysis results.

Contribution

First detailed light curves and Fourier analysis of RR Lyrae stars selected solely from single-epoch SDSS data.

Findings

Confirmed variability and determined periods of the stars.

Provided amplitude measurements and Fourier analysis results.

Enhanced understanding of RR Lyrae stars identified from limited data.

Abstract

We present the results of our Johnson B and V observations of three RR Lyrae candidate stars that we identified as likely variable stars using SDSS data. The stars were selected based upon a single epoch of photometry and spectroscopy. The stars were observed at McDonald Observatory to obtain full light curves. We present full light curves, measured periods, and amplitudes, as well as the results of our Fourier analysis of the light curves.
