The red giant branch phase transition: Implications for the RGB luminosity function bump and detections of Li-rich red clump stars [PDF]
, 2015 We performed a detailed study of the evolution of the luminosity of He-ignition stage and of the red giant branch bump luminosity during the red giant branch phase transition for various metallicities.

Can Planets Influence the Horizontal Branch Morphology? [PDF]
, 1998 As stars which have planetary systems evolve along the red giant branch and expand, they interact with the close planets. The planets deposit angular momentum and energy into the red giant stars' envelopes, both of which are likely to enhance mass loss ...

On the discrete nature of the red giant branch of ω Centauri [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2005 We report the results of an extensive VLT high-resolution imaging campaign of the central region of the giant globular cluster omega Centauri. More than 100,000 stars have been measured in the inner 9'x 9' region of the cluster. On the basis of multiband Colour Magnitude Diagrams (CMD), we confirm the existence of multiple stellar populations along the

Magnetic and non-magnetic AGB mixing for s-processing [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2023 I outline a few features of recent models for the formation of the neutron source 13C(α,n)16O in low mass stars (1 ≲ M/M⊙ ≲ 3, LMS ) ascendingfor the second time the Red Giant Branch, generally called Asymptotic Giant Branch, or AGB stars. I also briefly

The red giant branch in the Tycho-2 catalogue [PDF]
Astronomy Letters, 2011 Based on multicolor photometry from the 2MASS and Tycho-2 catalogues, we have produced a sample of 38 368 branch red giants that has less than 1\% of admixtures and is complete within 500 pc of the Sun. The sample includes 30 671 K giants, 7544 M giants, 49 C giants, and 104 suspected supergiants or S stars.

Red Clump stars in Kepler open cluster NGC 6819
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 We measure the large frequency separation, Δν, and the frequency of maximum amplitude, νmax, for 10 Red Clump (RC) single member (SM) stars in the Kepler open cluster NGC 6819. We derive luminosities and masses for each individual RC star.

On the serendipitous discovery of a Li-rich giant in the globular cluster NGC 362 [PDF]
, 2015 We have serendipitously identified the first lithium-rich giant star located close to the red giant branch bump in a globular cluster. Through intermediate-resolution FLAMES spectra we derived a lithium abundance of A(Li)=2.55 (assuming local ...

, 2003 We present a comparison between theoretical models and the observed magnitude difference between the horizontal branch and the red giant branch bump for a sample of 53 clusters. We find a general agreement, though some discrepancy is still present at the two extremes of the metallicity range of globular clusters.

Radial pulsations of red giant branch stars [PDF]
Astronomy Letters, 2017 We performed hydrodynamic computations of nonlinear stellar pulsations of population I stars at the evolutionary stages of the ascending red giant branch and the following luminosity drop due to the core helium flash. Red giants populating this region of the Hertzsprung--Russel diagram were found to be the fundamental mode pulsators.
