On the Bimodal Distributions of Horizontal Branches [PDF]
New synthetic horizontal branch (HB) models are presented for some globular clusters known to have bimodal HB distributions. These models are based on new Yale HB evolutionary tracks for Y=0.25 and the core masses appropriate for the compositions. The distribution of stellar masses along the HB is given by a slightly modified version of Rood's (1973 ...

CONSTRAINTS ON THE DISTANCE MODULI, HELIUM AND METAL ABUNDANCES, AND AGES OF GLOBULAR CLUSTERS FROM THEIR RR LYRAE AND NON-VARIABLE HORIZONTAL-BRANCH STARS. I. M3, M15, AND M92 [PDF]
Up-to-date isochrones, zero-age horizontal-branch (ZAHB) loci, and evolutionary tracks for core He-burning stars are applied to the color–magnitude diagrams of M3, M15, and M92, focusing in particular on their RR Lyrae populations.

Bimodal Distributions on the Horizontal Branch [PDF]
We present preliminary versions of log g - log Teff diagrams for a number of clusters with gaps in their blue horizontal branches and for two normal clusters.

The mosaic multiple stellar populations in ω Centauri: the horizontal branch and the main sequence [PDF]
We interpret the stellar population of $\omega$ Centauri by means of a population synthesis analysis, following the most recent observational guidelines for input metallicities, helium and [(C+N+O)/Fe] contents.

Characterizing stellar halo populations II: the age gradient in blue horizontal-branch stars [PDF]
The distribution of Milky Way halo blue horizontal-branch (BHB) stars is examined using action-based extended distribution functions (EDFs) that describe the locations of stars in phase space, metallicity, and age.

RR Lyrae stars and the horizontal branch of NGC 5904 (M5) [PDF]
We report the distance and [Fe/H] value for the globular cluster NGC 5904 (M5) derived from the Fourier decomposition of the light curves of selected RRab and RRc stars.
