RESUMEN
Se reporta fotometría uvby β para las estrellas tipo RR Lyrae AE, RS, ST, TV, TW, UU, y XX en Bootes. Se calculan los parámetros físicos M/M log(L/L), MV, log Teff y [Fe/H] a partir de la descomposición de Fourier de las curvas de luz y de calibraciones empíricas desarrolladas para este tipo de estrellas, y se discute la confiabilidad de estos valores. Los valores de [Fe/H] obtenidos se comparan con aquellos calculados a partir del índice ΔS para algunas estrellas de la muestra. Se encontró que el enrojecimiento de la zona es despreciable, comparándolo con el mostrado por diversos objetos en la misma región del cielo. Por tanto, se calcularon las distancias a estos objetos. La variación, a lo largo del ciclo de pulsación, de los índices fotométricos desenrojecidos (by)0 y c1 permite la comparación con mallas teóricas y por lo tanto la estimación independiente de log Teff y log g.
ABSTRACT
Strömgren uvby β photometry is reported for the RR Lyrae stars AE, RS, ST, TV, TW, UU, and XX in Bootes. The physical parameters M/M log(L/L), MV, log Teff and [Fe/H], have been estimated from the Fourier decomposition of the light curves and the empirical calibrations developed for this type of stars. The obtained [Fe/H] values are compared with those calculated from the ΔS index for some sample stars. It was found that reddening in the zone is negligible compared to that shown by several objects in the same sky zone. From that, distance to the stars was calculated. The variation of the unreddened indexes (by)0 and c1 along the pulsational cycle allows the direct comparison with the theoretical grids and, hence, an independent determination of Teff and log g.
Key Words: stars: variables: RR Lyrae techniques: photometric.
