Scientific paper

We present our photometric observations and results of field ab-type RR Lyrae (RRab) stars. These RRab stars were mined from the Northern Sky Variability Survey (NSVS) and were selected from a subsample list where the period had been indeterminate due to too few observations and period aliasing. The photometric data were collected at the Red Buttes Observatory (University of Wyoming). Supplemental data were obtained at the Michigan State University Observatory. In addition, data from the All-Sky Automated Survey were combined with our datasets. New period solutions, amplitudes and mean magnitudes are determined for these RRab stars. With these updated parameters, a full photometric analysis can be completed.
This project is funded through the University of Wyoming REU-SURAP program.
