YIELD POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENT OF SOME LOWLAND RED RICE LINES IN F4 PEDIGREE SELECTION
This study aimed to obtain F4 lines of red rice with high yield potential, high number of filled grains and early maturity compared to their parents (F2BC4P19-36, Fatmawati and IPB 3S varieties) through Pedigree selection. To make statistical comparison,

A New Method for the Asteroseismic Determination of the Evolutionary State of Red-Giant Stars [PDF]
Determining the ages of red-giant stars is a key problem in stellar astrophysics. One of the difficulties in this determination is to know the evolutionary state of the individual stars -- i.e. have they started to burn Helium in their cores? That is the

On the Correlation Between Metallicity and the X-Shaped Morphology of the Milky Way Bulge [PDF]
We demonstrate that failure to properly account for stellar evolution can bias results in determinations of the spatial morphology of Galactic bulge stars, focusing on the question of whether or not the X-shape is more pronounced among the more metal ...

The Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment. Red Clump Stars as a Distance Indicator
We present relation of the mean I-band brightness of red clump stars on metallicity. Red clump stars were proposed to be a very attractive standard candle for distance determination.

Magnitude bias of microlensed sources towards the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
There are lines of evidence suggesting that some of the observed microlensing events in the direction of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are caused by ordinary star lenses as opposed to dark Machos in the Galactic halo.

The spectroscopic indistinguishability of red giant branch and red clump stars [PDF]
Stellar spectroscopy provides useful information on the physical properties of stars such as effective temperature, metallicity and surface gravity (log g). However, those photospheric characteristics are often hampered by systematic uncertainties. The joint spectro-seismo project (APOKASC) of field red giants has revealed a puzzling offset between the

Inner galactic disc metallicity distributions and the bulge-disc relation
The intermediate-to-old population of the inner galactic disk remains a relatively uncharted territory. We present the results of a high resolution spectroscopic survey of over 200 red clump stars in the inner galactic disc (3–5 kpc from the galactic ...

Red clump stars are fundamental distance indicators in astrophysics, although theoretical stellar models predict a dependence of absolute magnitudes with ages.

From the Inner to Outer Milky Way: A Photometric Sample of 2.6 Million Red Clump Stars
Large pristine samples of red clump stars are highly sought after given that they are standard candles and give precise distances even at large distances.
