Original abstract
We present the largest and most homogeneous catalog of radial velocity (RV) measurements for field RR Lyrae (RRL) variables, based on both proprietary and publicly available spectroscopic data. The sample includes 17,563 RRLs pulsating in the fundamental mode (12,353 RRab), in the first overtone (5,011 RRc), and in double-mode (199 RRd). The RV curve (RVC) templates for metallic and Balmer lines were used to derive RV amplitudes and $V_γ$ velocities, defined as the RV of the stellar barycenter with respect to the Sun. The typical accuracy across the catalog is on average 3.8 km s$^{-1}$ for well-sampled RVCs, 6.5 km s$^{-1}$ for RVCs with 3-7 phase points and 11.3 km s$^{-1}$ for RVCs with fewer than three phase points. The use of different spectroscopic diagnostics and RVC templates provides, within the errors, very similar $V_γ$ velocities. We found that the metallicity dependence of RV amplitudes is vanishing for metallic lines, but becomes increasingly significant for H$γ$ and H$δ$. Moreover, the scaling relations between photometric (V, $G_{BP}$, G, $G_{RP}$) and RV amplitudes are linear for RRc and nonlinear for RRab variables, independently of the adopted diagnostic. This circumstantial evidence indicates that convection affects more luminosity than RV amplitudes when moving from the blue (hot) to the red (cool) edge of the instability strip. The spectroscopic Bailey diagram (RV amplitude versus period) shows a smooth transition and a reduced spread at a fixed period, when moving from metal-poor to metal-rich RRLs. Finally, we also found evidence that the metallicity distribution function of Blazhko RRLs is skewed toward the metal-intermediate and metal-rich regimes.
