CSS_J014742.4+253431 - an RR Lyrae variable

Via Flickr:
CSS_J014742.4+253431 is an RR Lyrae pulsating variable of type AB (RRAB) discovered during the course of the Catalina Real-Time Transient Survey SNHunt on Catalina Sky Survey images.

A check at the time determining the nature of this variable showed this to be a previously unknown variable not in VSX or listed as such in VizieR. It was subsequently submitted to VSX.

Data:
Designation: CSS_J0147442.4+253431
Position: RA = 91h47m42.4s, Dec = +25d34m31s
Period = 0.511044 day
Range = 14.72-15.72CV
Constellation: Aries

Cross Identifications:
VSX J014742.3+253430
SDSS J014742.38+253430.4

Note: With more data available since the original release of the database, the above range and period are slightly different than that submitted to VSX.

The folded light curve was created using an Excel spreadsheat provided by Sebastian Otero of the AAVSO.
