Abstract

A large fraction of the pulsating RR Lyrae stars shows a periodic amplitude and/or phase modulation, denoted the Blazhko effect. Nearly a century after its discovery, this phenomenon remains a mystery. The Blazhko Project is an international collaboration focused on a better understanding of the Blazhko effect. Through a cross-fertilization of observational and theoretical expertise, progress in this field is guaranteed.
