Description:
    We present a theoretical investigation on periods and amplitudes of RR
    Lyrae pulsators by adopting stellar parameters which cover the range
    of theoretical evolutionary expectations. Extensive grids of
    nonlinear, nonlocal and time-dependent convective RR Lyrae envelope
    models have been computed to investigate the pulsational behavior in
    both fundamental and first overtone modes at selected luminosity
    levels and over an effective temperature range which covers the whole
    instability region. In order to avoid spurious evaluations of modal
    stability and pulsation amplitudes, the coupling between pulsation and
    convection was followed through a direct time integration of the
    leading equations until radial motions approached their limiting
    amplitude. Blue and red boundaries for pulsational instability into
    the HR diagram are presented for three different mass values M=0.75,
    0.65 and 0.58M_{sun}_, together with an atlas of full amplitude
    theoretical light curves for both fundamental and first overtone
    pulsators and for two different assumptions of stellar masses: M=0.75
    and 0.65M_{sun}_.
