We present the frequency analysis of the multicolour time series photometry of the field RRd variable BS Comae. The large number of data points in each of the BV(RI)_c bands and the ~0.01 magnitude accuracy of the individual measurements allow us a high precision analysis of the properties of the combination frequencies due to nonlinear coupling. Through the combination of the frequency spectra in different colors we show that except for the components corresponding to the linear combinations of the two pulsation modes, there are no other components present above the millimagnitude amplitude level.

Classical double-mode pulsators (RR Lyrae stars and delta Cepheids) are important for their simultaneous pulsation in low-order radial modes. This enables us to put stringent constraints on their physical parameters. We use 30 bright galactic doubl
e-mode RR~Lyrae (RRd) stars to estimate their luminosities and compare them with those derived from the parallaxes of the recent data release (EDR3) of the Gaia survey. We employ pulsation and evolutionary models, together with observationally determined effective temperatures to derive the basic stellar parameters. Excluding 6 outlying stars (e.g., with blending issues) the RRd and Gaia luminosities correlate well. With the adopted temperature zero point from one of the works based on the infrared flux method, we find it necessary to increase the Gaia parallaxes by 0.02 mas to bring the RRd and Gaia luminosities into agreement. This value is consonant with those derived from studies on binary stars in the context of Gaia. We examine also the resulting period-luminosity-metallicity (PLZ) relation in the 2MASS K band as follows from the RRd parameters. This leads to the verification of two independently derived other PLZs. No significant zero point differences are found. Furthermore, the predicted K absolute magnitudes agree within sigma=0.005-0.01mag.
Space-based photometric missions revealed a surprising abundance of millimagnitude-level additional modes in RR Lyrae stars. The modes that appear in the modulated fundamental-mode (RRab) stars can be ordered into four major categories. Here we prese
nt the distribution of these groups in the Petersen diagram, and discuss their characteristics and connections to additional modes observed in other RR Lyrae stars.
Non-radial modes are excited in classical pulsators, both in Cepheids and in RR Lyrae stars. Firm evidence come from the first overtone pulsators, in which additional shorter period mode is detected with characteristic period ratio falling in between
0.60 and 0.65. In the case of first overtone Cepheids three separate sequences populated by nearly 200 stars are formed in the Petersen diagram, i.e. the diagram of period ratio versus longer period. In the case of first overtone RR Lyrae stars (RRc stars) situation is less clear. A dozen or so such stars are known which form a clump in the Petersen diagram without any obvious structure. Interestingly, all first overtone RR Lyrae stars for which precise space-borne photometry is available show the additional mode, which suggests that its excitation is common. Motivated by these results we searched for non-radial modes in the OGLE-III photometry of RRc stars from the Galactic bulge. We report the discovery of 147 stars, members of a new group of double-mode, radial-non-radial mode pulsators. They form a clear and tight sequence in the Petersen diagram, with period ratios clustering around 0.613 with a signature of possible second sequence with higher period ratio (0.631). The scatter in period ratios of the already known stars is explained as due to population effects. Judging from the results of space observations this still mysterious form of pulsation must be common among RRc stars and with our analysis of the OGLE data we just touch the tip of the iceberg.
We have applied the image subtraction method to the M3 dataset previously analyzed by Corwin & Carney (2001; CC01). The new analysis produced light curves and periods for 15 variables, bringing to 222 the total number of RR Lyrae stars in CC01 M3 dat
aset. We have identified three new candidate double-mode (RRd) variables (V13, V200, and V251) in M3. Of the newly discovered RRds V13 is unusual in that it has the fundamental as the dominant pulsation mode. Two of the new candidate RRds (V13 and V200) have period ratios as low as 0.738-0.739. They lie separated from all previously known RRds in the Petersen diagram, in positions implying a large spread in mass and/or, less likely, in heavy element mass fraction, among the M3 horizontal branch (HB) stars. We explore mass transfer and helium enhancement as possible explanations for the apparent spread in HB masses. We also note that the masses derived from the RRd analyses now favor little mass loss on the red giant branch. V200 has changed its dominant pulsation mode from fundamental to first overtone, while V251 has changed its dominant mode from first overtone to fundamental in the interval 1992 to 1993. Together with M3-V166 this is the first time that RRd variables are observed to switch their dominant pulsation modes while remaining RRds. The phenomenon is found to occur in a one year time-span thus suggesting that these stars are undergoing a rapid evolutionary phase, and that both redward and blueward evolution may take place among the HB stars in M3. The unusual behavior of the M3 RRds is discussed and compared to that of the RRds identified so far in globular clusters and in the field of our and other Local Group galaxies. We find lack of correlation between the presence of RRd variables and any of the cluster structural parameters.
Radial velocities of fifteen double-mode bulge RR Lyrae (RR01) stars are presented, six of which belong to a compact group of RR01 stars in pulsation space, with the ratio of first-overtone period to fundamental-mode period, P_{fo}/P_{f}~0.74, and P_
{f}~0.44. It has been suggested that these pulsationally clumped RR01 stars are a relic of a disrupted dwarf galaxy or stellar cluster, as they also appear to be spatially coherent in a vertical strip across the bulge. However, the radial velocities of the stars presented here, along with proper motions from Gaia DR2, show a large range of radial velocities, proper motions and distances for the bulge RR01 stars in the pulsation clump, much larger than the RR01 stars in the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy (Sgr). Therefore, in contrast to the kinematics of the RRL stars belonging to Sgr, and those in and surrounding the bulge globular cluster NGC~6441, there is no obvious kinematic signature within the pulsationally clumped RR01 stars. If the pulsationally clumped RR01 stars belonged to the same system in the past and were accreted, their accretion in the inner Galaxy was not recent, as the kinematic signature of this group has been lost (i.e., these stars are now well-mixed within the inner Galaxy). We show that the apparent spatial coherence reported for these stars could have been caused by small number statistics. The orbits of the RR01 stars in the inner Galaxy suggest they are confined to the innermost ~4~kpc of the Milky Way.
