Abstract

BlaSGalF is the name of an online, regularly updated list of known RR Lyraes exhibiting the Blazhko effect. It is an acronym of Blazhko Stars of Galactic Field. The list currently contains about 270 stars. It gives basic information about positions, brightnesses, pulsation and modulation periods based on data from catalogs and more than sixty papers. Using this database we found a lack of Blazhko stars with appropriate period characteristics. We introduce the present form of the list and discuss future plans for this database.
