Characteristics of flares on giant stars
Context. Although late-type dwarfs and giant stars are substantially different, their flares are thought to originate in similar physical processes and differ only by a scale factor in the energy levels. We study the validity of this approach. Aims. We search for characteristics of flares on active giants, which might be statistically different from ...

Gaia17bpp: A Giant Star with the Deepest and Longest Known Dimming Event
We report the serendipitous discovery of Gaia17bpp/2MASS J19372316+1759029, a binary star with a deep single large-amplitude dimming event of ∼4.5 mag that lasted over 6.5 yr.

Background Coccidiosis is a prevalent problem in chicken production. Dietary addition of coccidiostats and vaccination are two approaches used to suppress coccidia in the practical production.

Eclipsing spotted giant star with K2 and historical photometry [PDF]
Context. Stars can maintain their observable magnetic activity from the pre-main sequence (PMS) to the tip of the red giant branch. However, the number of known active giants is much lower than active stars on the main sequence (MS) since the stars spend

Common-envelope evolution with an asymptotic giant branch star [PDF]
Common-envelope phases are decisive for the evolution of many binary systems. Cases with asymptotic giant branch (AGB) primary stars are of particular interest because they are thought to be progenitors of various astrophysical transients.

Wobbling Jets in Common Envelope Evolution
We find that the convective motion in the envelopes of red supergiant (RSG) stars supplies a non-negligible stochastic angular momentum to the mass that a secondary star accretes in a common envelope evolution (CEE), such that jets that the secondary ...

In previous work, we identified a population of 38 cool and luminous variable stars in the Magellanic Clouds and examined 11 in detail in order to classify them as either Thorne–Żytkow objects (TŻOs; red supergiants with a neutron star cores) or super ...

AMBER/VLTI observations of 5 giant stars [PDF]
While the search for exoplanets around main sequence stars more massive than the Sun have found relatively few such objects, surveys performed around giant stars have led to the discovery of more than 30 new exoplanets.

Native American myths, legends and oral traditions are rich with stories of giant beings existing in ancient times. They all talk of giant Thunderers or Thunder-beings, giant snakes and great Thunderbirds.
