Difference between RR Lyrae and Variable star

RR Lyrae vs. Variable star

RR Lyrae is a variable star in the Lyra constellation, located near the border with the neighboring constellation of Cygnus. A variable star is a star whose brightness as seen from Earth (its apparent magnitude) fluctuates.

Similarities between RR Lyrae and Variable star

RR Lyrae and Variable star have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): American Association of Variable Star Observers, Apparent magnitude, Cygnus (constellation), Instability strip, Light curve, Main sequence, Metallicity, Red giant, Stellar classification, Stellar population.

American Association of Variable Star Observers

Since its founding in 1911, the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) has coordinated, collected, evaluated, analyzed, published, and archived variable star observations made largely by amateur astronomers and makes the records available to professional astronomers, researchers, and educators.

Apparent magnitude

The apparent magnitude of a celestial object is a number that is a measure of its brightness as seen by an observer on Earth.

Cygnus (constellation)

Cygnus is a northern constellation lying on the plane of the Milky Way, deriving its name from the Latinized Greek word for swan.

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.

Light curve

In astronomy, a light curve is a graph of light intensity of a celestial object or region, as a function of time.

Red giant

A red giant is a luminous giant star of low or intermediate mass (roughly 0.3–8 solar masses) in a late phase of stellar evolution.

Stellar population

During 1944, Walter Baade categorized groups of stars within the Milky Way into bluer stars associated with the spiral arms and the general position of yellow stars near the central galactic bulge or within globular star clusters.
