Precise positions of RR Lyrae Stars with Vmax>12.5
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
RR Lyrae stars are of great importance for investigations of Galactic structure.
Description
However, a complete compendium of all RR-Lyraes in the solar neighbourhood with accurate classifications and coordinates does not exist to this day. Here we present a catalogue of 561 local RR-Lyrae stars (V_max_>=12.5mag) according to the magnitudes given in the Combined General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS) and 16 fainter ones.
The Tycho2 catalogue contains ~100 RR Lyr stars. However, many objects have inaccurate coordinates in the GCVS, the primary source of variable star information, so that a reliable cross-identification is difficult. We identified RR Lyrae from both catalogues based on an intensive literature search.

In dubious cases we carried out photometry of fields to identify the variable. Mennessier & Colome (2002, Cat. <J/A+A/390/173>) have published a paper with Tyc2-GCVS identifications, but we found that many of their identifications are wrong.
