Parameters and the Eddington pulsation constant of Galactic RRab stars

For Galactic RRab stars 121 empirical and semiempirical metallicity–absolute magnitude relations known since 1990 are analyzed. For these variables, using their known empirical data, relations are determined between the mass, the radius, the effective surface temperature, the bolometric correction, the luminosity, the absolute magnitude, on the one hand, and the metallicity and the pulsation period, on the other hand. Using these relations, the empirical value of the Eddington pulsation constant is accurately determined for RRab stars for the first time.
