Difference between RR Lyrae and Stellar pulsation

RR Lyrae vs. Stellar pulsation

RR Lyrae is a variable star in the Lyra constellation, located near the border with the neighboring constellation of Cygnus. Stellar pulsations are caused by expansions and contractions in the outer layers as a star seeks to maintain equilibrium.

Similarities between RR Lyrae and Stellar pulsation

RR Lyrae and Stellar pulsation have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Instability strip, Light curve, Variable star.

Instability strip

The unqualified term instability strip usually refers to a region of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram largely occupied by several related classes of pulsating variable stars: Delta Scuti variables, SX Phoenicis variables, and rapidly oscillating Ap stars (roAps) near the main sequence; RR Lyrae variables where it intersects the horizontal branch; and the Cepheid variables where it crosses the supergiants.
