Evolutionary changes in the periods of galactic RRab stars    [PDF]

Jacqueline Vandenbroere, Ennio Poretti, Jean-Francois Le Borgne
Le Borgne et al. (2007) report on the determination of evolutionary changes in the periods of field RR Lyr stars. Thanks to the extension of the GEOS database, we could analyze a sample twice larger than the previous one. We obtained a different picture of the period changes, with a number of stars showing an increasing period greater than that of stars showing a decreasing period.
