TABLE  vmcRRlyraeVariables

Contains details of RRLyrae variables defined by the VMC team

The catalogue contains fundamental-mode RR Lyrae stars (RRab).
All these objects have counterparts in the OGLE-3 catalogue, 11 or more
VMC epochs in the Ks-band (hence, the analysis with GRATIS
software is possible) and were NOT observed on detector 16. The light
curves in the Ks-band were analysed by Fourier fitting with GRapical
Analyzer of TImes Series (GRATIS, Clementini G., Di Tomaso S.,
Di Fabrizio L. et al., 2000, AJ, 120, 2054 ) and using the periods
provided by the OGLE III. All available Ks epochs were used in the
analysis.

Required constraints:
  • Primary key is (varID)
  • (varID) references vmcVariablesType(varID)
