The Distance to the Fornax Dwarf Galaxy Using Red Clump Stars and the Discrepancy between Red Clump and Tip of the Red Giant Branch Distances [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2000 I determine a distance to the Fornax dwarf galaxy using stars in the red clump and at the tip of the red giant branch. They are in very good agreement, with $ _0 = 20.66 mag$. Comparing the magnitudes of the tip of the red giant branch and of the red clump in Fornax, Carina and the Magellanic Clouds, I propose a possible solution to the problem of the

On the Correlation Between Metallicity and the X-Shaped Morphology of the Milky Way Bulge [PDF]
, 2014 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 ...

INFRARED EXTINCTION IN THE INNER MILKY WAY THROUGH RED CLUMP GIANTS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 While the shape of the extinction curve on the infrared is considered to be set and the extinction ratios between infrared bands are usually taken to be approximately constant, a recent number of studies point either to a spatially variable behavior on the exponent of the power law or to a different extinction law altogether.

Characterisation of red-giant stars in the public Kepler data
, 2011 The first public release of long-cadence stellar photometric data collected by the NASA Kepler mission has now been made available. In this paper we characterise the red-giant (G-K) stars in this large sample in terms of their solar-like oscillations. We

A New Giant Branch Clump Structure In the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
, 1999 We present Washington C, T1 CCD photometry of 21 fields located in the northern part of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), and spread over a region of more than 2.52 degrees approximately 6 degrees from the bar. The surveyed areas were chosen on the basis

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The study of Li phenomena in red clump (RC) stars can give us a deeper understanding of the structure and evolution of stars. Chanamé et al. explained the RC Li abundance distributions naturally using only standard post-main-sequence (MS) Li evolution ...

The structure behind the Galactic bar traced by red clump stars in the VVV survey★ [PDF]
, 2018 Red clump stars are commonly used to map the reddening and morphology of the inner regions of the Milky Way. We use the new photometric catalogues of the VISTA Variables in the V´ıa La´ctea survey to achieve twice the spatial resolution of previous ...

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.
