A review of the mixing length theory of convection in 1D stellar modeling
We review the application of the one-dimensional Mixing Length Theory (MLT) model of
convection in stellar interiors and low-mass stellar evolution. We summarize the history of …

Bump cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds: metallicities, the distances to the LMC and SMC, and the pulsation-evolution mass discrepancy
We use nonlinear pulsation models to reproduce the observed light and color curves for two
samples of bump Cepheid variables, 19 from the Large Magellanic Cloud and 9 from the …

Does Kepler unveil the mystery of the Blazhko effect? First detection of period doubling in Kepler Blazhko RR Lyrae stars
The first detection of the period doubling phenomenon is reported in the Kepler RR Lyrae
stars RR Lyr, V808 Cyg and V355 Lyr. Interestingly, all these pulsating stars show Blazhko …

On the Blazhko effect in RR Lyrae stars
JR Buchler, Z Kolláth - The astrophysical journal, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
The Blazhko effect is a long-term, generally irregular modulation of the light curves that
occurs in a sizeable number of RR Lyrae stars. The physical origin of the effect has been a …
