The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Given the recent successful launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, determining robust calibrations of the slopes and absolute magnitudes of the near- to mid-infrared tip of the red-giant branch (TRGB) will be essential to measuring precise ...

Dynamical Substructures of Galactic Globular Clusters II. NGC 6934 [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2004 The variations of the dynamical substructures of NGC 6934 have been investigated by means of performing point spread function stellar photometry and the surface photometry on BV CCD images of NGC 6934.

The Near-IR TRGB Magnitude and Distance Modulus to NGC 185 [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2008 We determined values of distance modulus to nearby dwarf galaxy NGC 185 from the Tip of Red-Giant Branch (TRGB) method. Apparent magnitudes of the TRGB are estimated from the near-infrared JHK luminosity functions (LFs) of the resolved giant branch stars.

The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Wide-field and deep DECam multiband photometry, combined with HST data for the core of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 2808, allowed us to study the distribution of various stellar subpopulations and stars in different evolutionary phases out to the ...

Post-red-giant-branch Planetary Nebulae
, 2023 Common envelope events have been associated with the formation of a planetary nebulae since its proposition more than forty five years ago. However, until recently there have been doubts as to whether a common envelope while the donor is ascending the red giant branch, rather than the subsequent asymptotic red giant branch, would result in a planetary ...

The analysis of isochrone fitting methods for red giant branch photometry, and tip red giant branch distance determination [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2003 We consider the procedure of isochrone fitting and its application to the study of red giant branch (RGB) photometry in old stellar populations. This is extended to consider the problems introduced by the inclusion of lower-magnitude regions of the Colour Magnitude Diagram (CMD).

Metallicities of Globular Clusters m3 and m5 from VI CCD Photometry [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2000 To derive the metallicities of M3 and M5, we used the shape of red giant branch, horizontal branch magnitude, and red giant branch bump on the (V - I) - V color magnitude diagrams.

Investigating APOKASC Red Giant Stars with Abnormal Carbon-to-nitrogen Ratios
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The success of galactic archeology and the reconstruction of the formation history of our Galaxy relies critically on precise ages for large populations of stars. For evolved stars in the red clump and red giant branch, the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio ([C/N]
