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.

Asteroseismic sensitivity to internal rotation along the red-giant branch [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 Context. Transport of angular momentum in stellar interiors is currently not well understood. Asteroseismology can provide us with estimates of internal rotation of stars and thereby advances our understanding of angular momentum transport. Aims. We can measure core-rotation rates in red-giant stars and we can place upper bounds on surface-rotation ...

An empirical mass-loss law for Population II giants from the Spitzer-IRAC survey of Galactic globular clusters [PDF]
, 2014 The main aim of the present work is to derive an empirical mass-loss (ML) law for Population II stars in first and second ascent red giant branches.

Giant Planet Engulfment by Evolved Giant Stars: Light Curves, Asteroseismology, and Survivability
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 About ten percent of Sun-like (1–2 M _⊙ ) stars will engulf a 1–10 M _J planet as they expand during the red giant branch (RGB) or asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase of their evolution.

Observation of the Halo of NGC 3077 Near the "Garland" Region Using the Hubble Space Telescope [PDF]
, 2001 We report the detection of upper main sequence stars and red giant branch stars in the halo of an amorphous galaxy, NGC3077. The observations were made using Wide Field Planetary Camera~2 on board the Hubble Space Telescope.

Asteroseismology of KIC 8263801:Is it a member of NGC 6866 and a red clump star? [PDF]
, 2018 We present an asteroseismic analysis of the Kepler light curve of KIC 8263801, a red-giant star in the open cluster NGC 6866 that has previously been reported to be a helium-burning red-clump star.

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

Dynamical Substructures of Galactic Globular Clusters III. NGC 7006 [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2005 To study the effects of giant population on dynamical substructures of the central region of NGC 7006, we examine the radial variations of ellipticity and position angle on BV stellar photometry using ellipse fitting technique.
