Scientific paper

Among RR Lyrae stars displaying the Blazhko effect, a few show no period
modulation in spite of striking changes in their light amplitudes. This
anomalous behavior and the mean period of the affected variables are
predicted correctly by the theory of slow convective cycles in the
stellar envelope.
