 | | Already Hachenberg (1939) noticed that this star is almost a magnitude brighter than RR Lyrae stars in M 92 and thus supposed that it might be in fact a Cepheid. |  | | However, he regarded it to be the RR Lyrae variable (blended with another unresolved star) and his classification is maintained also in the CVSGC. |  | | In M 53, for example, seven giants are known to be variable (Kopacki 2000). |

| | RR Lyrae variable stars |
 | | At present, a large number of research programs at various levels of completion are carried out, and new projects are proposed to address the RR Lyrae distance scale and the stellar population issues, as well as the impact of the RR Lyraes on stellar evolution and pulsation theories. |  | | The absolute magnitude of the RR Lyrae variables is known to depend on metallicity, but no general consensus has been reached so far both on the correct slope and on the zero-point of the Mv(RR)-[Fe/H] relation. |  | | New software tools have been developed, purposely designed to allow the identification of variable stars and to perform period searches and studies of multiple periodicities of variable objects. |

 | | This method is quite similar to the one adopted for estimating the absolute bolometric magnitude of the ZAHB but it relies only on the pulsational properties of the Lyrae variables in each cluster. |  | | By adopting the same approach outlined by De Santis and Cassisi, we evaluate the absolute bolometric magnitude of the zero-age horizontal branch (ZAHB) at the level of the RR Lyrae variable instability strip in selected Galactic globular clusters. |  | | As the adopted method relies on theoretical predictions on both the fundamental pulsational equation and the allowed mass range for fundamental pulsators, we give an estimate of the error affecting present results, owing to systematic uncertainties in the adopted theoretical framework. |
