High-precision 2MASS JHKs light curves and other data for RR Lyrae star SDSS J015450+001501: strong constraints for non-linear pulsation models

We present and discuss an extensive data set for the non-Blazhko ab-type RR Lyrae star SDSSJ015450+001501, including optical SDSS ugriz light curves and spectroscopic data, LINEAR and CSS unfiltered optical light curves, and infrared 2MASS JHKs and WISE W1 and W2 light curves. Most notably, light curves obtained by 2MASS include close to 9000 photometric measures collected over 3.3 years and provide exceedingly precise view of near-IR variability. These data demonstrate that static atmosphere models are insufficient to explain multi-band photometric light curve behavior and present strong constraints for non-linear pulsation models for RR Lyrae stars. It is a challenge to modelers to produce theoretical light curves that can explain data presented here, which we make publicly available.
