Kepler Blazhko RR Lyrae light curves

These 4-year long, detrended, cleaned, 'final' light curves were made from the Kepler observations using tailor-made apertures to retain as much flux as possible. All of them belong to Blazhko-modulated RRab stars.

Kepler non-Blazhko RR Lyrae light curves

These 4-year long, detrended, cleaned, 'final' light curves were made from the Kepler observations using tailor-made apertures to retain as much flux as possible. These ones belong to non-modulated (non-Blazhko) RRab stars.

K2-E2 RR Lyrae:

These 8.9-day long RR Lyrae data files were taken during the K2 Two-Wheel Concept Engineering Test (K2-E2). The detrended, cleaned, 'final' light curves belong to various RR Lyrae subtypes (Blazhko-modulated RRab stars, non-Blazhko stars, RRc, RRd).

K2 RR Lyrae light curves in Leo IV dwarf galaxy

Leo IV fell into the field-of-view of the first scientific campaign (C1) of the K2 mission and was observed between May 30 and August 21, 2014. The datafile contains 82-day long raw and processed light curves of 3 RR Lyrae belonging to the galaxy. For more information please see the Molnár et al. paper below.
