From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Blazhko effect, also known as the Tseraskaya–Blazhko effect,[1] and which is sometimes called long-period modulation, is a variation in period and amplitude in RR Lyrae type variable stars. Sergey Blazhko first reported its observation in 1907 in his follow-up study of the star RW Draconis that was previously discovered by Lidiya Tseraskaya.[2][3] The physics behind the Blazhko effect is currently still a matter of debate, with there being three primary hypotheses. In the first, referred to as the resonance model, the cause of the modulation is a…
