Probing the Galactic Halo with RR Lyrae Stars. VI. The Radial Velocity Curve Templates of RRc Stars

Abstract

We present radial velocity (RV) curve templates of RR Lyrae first-overtone (RRc) stars constructed with the Mg i b triplet and Hα lines using time-domain Medium-Resolution Survey spectra of seven RRc stars from Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) Data Release 9. Additionally, we derive the relation between the stellar RV curve amplitudes and g-band light curve amplitudes from Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) public survey. For those RRc stars without ZTF g-band light curves, we provide the conversions from the light curve amplitudes in ZTF r- and i-bands, Gaia G-band, and V-band from the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae to those in ZTF g-band. We validate our RV curve templates using the RRc star SV Scl and find the uncertainties of systemic RV are less than 2.11 km s ⁻¹ and 6.08 km s ⁻¹ based on the Mg i b triplet and Hα lines, respectively. We calculate the systemic RVs of 30 RRc stars using the RV curve templates constructed with the Mg i b triplet and Hα lines and find the systemic RVs are comparable with each other. This RV curve template will be particularly useful for obtaining the systemic RV of RRc using the LAMOST spectroscopy.
