On the red giant branch mass loss in 47 Tucanae: Constraints from the horizontal branch morphology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We obtain stringent constraints on the actual efficiency of mass loss for red giant branch stars in the Galactic globular cluster 47 Tuc, by comparing synthetic modeling based on stellar evolution tracks with the observed distribution of stars along the ...

Multiple stellar populations in the Galactic globular cluster NGC 6752

open access: yes, 2009
We have carried out high-precision photometry on a large number of archival HST images of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 6752, to search for signs of multiple stellar populations. We find a broadened main sequence, and demonstrate that this broadening

CHEMICAL INHOMOGENEITY IN RED GIANT BRANCH STARS AND RR LYRAE VARIABLES IN NGC 1851: TWO SUBPOPULATIONS IN RED GIANT BRANCH [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2009
We investigate the red giant branch (RGB) subpopulations of NGC 1851 using Ca uvby photometry. Our color-magnitude diagrams show that the RGB stars have two subpopulations and the RGB stars in NGC 1851 appear to have distinct elemental abundance patterns with the [Ca/H] abundance. We discuss that the elemental abundance patterns can be explained by the

A New Color-Magnitude Diagram for Palomar 11 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We present new photometry for the Galactic thick disk globular cluster Palomar 11 extending well past the main sequence turn-off in the V and I bands. This photometry shows noticeable red giant and subgiant branches.

Asteroseismology of Very Low-Frequency Red Giants with Kepler: the Breakdown of the Asymptotic Relation

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
As the Kepler time series grew, so did the interest in the asteroseismology of very low-frequency solar-like oscillators. It is possible to accurately resolve modes for stars near the tip of the red giant branch.

Blue Stragglers After the Main Sequence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We study the post-main sequence evolution of products of collisions between main sequence stars (blue stragglers), with particular interest paid to the horizontal branch and asymptotic giant branch phases.
