The distance to the Fornax Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy [PDF]
, 2007 A large multicolour, wide-field photometric database of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy has been analysed using three different methods to provide revised distance estimates based on stellar populations in different age intervals.

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.

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

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 ...

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.

, 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.

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.

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 ...

Metallicity of Globular Cluster M13 from VI CCD Photometry [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2000 From the VI images of M13, obtained by using 2K CCD camera and the BOAO 1.8m telescope, we derive the (V-I)-V CMD of M13. From the shapes of red giant branch, the magnitude of horizontal branch, and the giant branch bump on the constructed CMD, we ...
