Lithium in Giant Stars [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 2000
Lithium continues to be a surprising element and more than ever the study of its creation, destruction and distribution is giving us tools to understand, not only the chemical evolution of this element, but also the nature of mass loss of evolved giants and nucleosynthesis of other elements in cases of very low-metal giants.

A hot Saturn on an eccentric orbit around the giant star EPIC228754001 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Although the majority of radial velocity detected planets have been found orbiting solar-type stars, a fraction of them have been discovered around giant stars.

Precise radial velocities of giant stars [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2006
Context: Future astrometric missions such as SIM PlanetQuest need very stable reference stars. K giants have large luminosities, which place them at large distances and thus the jitter of their photocenters by companions is relatively small. Therefore K giants would be best suited as references.

SBS 0802+529: A New Variable Star from the Second Byurakan Survey

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2012
A new emission line star was discovered on the plates of the Second Byurakan Survey (SBS). the follow up spectroscopy demonstrated that the object had a spectrum dominated by a late-type giant star with superposed hydrogen emission lines.

The Morphology of the Outflow in the Grazing Envelope Evolution

open access: yesGalaxies, 2018
We study the grazing envelope evolution (GEE), where a secondary star, which orbits the surface of a giant star, accretes mass from the giant envelope and launches jets. We conduct simulations of the GEE with different half-opening angles and velocities,

INTERNAL ROTATION OF THE RED-GIANT STAR KIC 4448777 BY MEANS OF ASTEROSEISMIC INVERSION [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We study the dynamics of the stellar interior of the early red-giant star KIC 4448777 by asteroseismic inversion of 14 splittings of the dipole mixed modes obtained from Kepler observations.

False Planets around Giant Stars: A Case Study of Sanders 364 in M67

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Discovering planets in sparsely populated regions of parameter space is crucial to improving our understanding of planetary formation and evolution. One such region is the subset of planets that orbit giant, evolved stars.

KOI-3890: A high mass-ratio asteroseismic red-giant$+$M-dwarf eclipsing binary undergoing heartbeat tidal interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
KOI-3890 is a highly eccentric, 153-day period eclipsing, single-lined spectroscopic binary system containing a red-giant star showing solar-like oscillations alongside tidal interactions.

THE CALIFORNIA PLANET SURVEY IV: A PLANET ORBITING THE GIANT STAR HD 145934 AND UPDATES TO SEVEN SYSTEMS WITH LONG-PERIOD PLANETS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We present an update to seven stars with long-period planets or planetary candidates using new and archival radial velocities from Keck-HIRES and literature velocities from other telescopes.

Accretion of a giant planet onto a white dwarf star [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2019
The detection1 of a dust disk around the white dwarf star G29-38 and transits from debris orbiting the white dwarf WD 1145+017 (ref. 2) confirmed that the photospheric trace metals found in many white dwarfs3 arise from the accretion of tidally disrupted
