Star Name: GSC 6957-00065, ASAS 220715-2723.8
Coordinates (J2000): 22 07 15.43, -27 23 44.6
Variability type: RR(B);   Limits, System: 12.8 - 13.5 (R);    
Period: (see Remarks) d;   Epoch: JD (see Remarks)

Remarks:
According to ASAS-3 data, GSC 6957-00065 = ASAS 220715-2723.8, listed in the ASAS catalog of variable stars (Pojmański 2002), is an RRAB variable with a period of 0.424900 d. Szczygieł et al. (2009), who consider all the stars analyzed in their paper fundamental-mode RR~Lyrae stars, give the period 0.4248986 d.

GSC 6957-00065 is actually an RR(B) star, and the above period values correspond to the first-overtone oscillation. The phased light curves plotted for the tabulated elements are given in the Figure. The period ratio P1/P0 = 0.7457 is typical of RR(B) variables. The fundamental-mode amplitude is much lower than that for the first overtone. Also identified is the period corresponding to the interaction frequency f0+f1.

J-H = 0.253 (2MASS).
