Extract

A powerful approach to the understanding of any group of stars is the study of any companion stars which can be shown to be physically connected. But RR Lyrae variables, in common with other members of Population II are deficient in physical pairs. Baize’s catalogue of variables with companions contains only one: CSV 1795 = ADS 9354 A. As far as can be determined no period or light curve has been published for this star and it remains doubtful whether it is an RR Lyrae variable.
