Theoretical RR Lyrae instability strip from MESA-RSP pulsation models and updated BaSTI evolutionary tracks
RR Lyraes (RRLs) are important tracers of old stellar populations and crucial distance indicators. To complement large variability surveys such as and Rubin-LSST, the topology of the RRL instability strip (IS) and their period-luminosity-metallicity (PLZ) and period-Wesenheit-metallicity (PWZ) relations must be updated...
