Red-giant stars in eccentric binaries [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 The unparalleled photometric data obtained by NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope has led to improved understanding of red-giant stars and binary stars. We discuss the characterization of known eccentric system, containing a solar-like oscillating red-giant ...

Stellar loci IV. red giant stars [PDF]
Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2021 Abstract In the fourth paper of this series, we present the metallicity-dependent Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) stellar color loci of red giant stars, using a spectroscopic sample of red giants in the SDSS Stripe 82 region. The stars span a range of 0.55 – 1.2 mag in color g

Asteroseismology of Solar-Type and Red-Giant Stars [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2013 We are entering a golden era for stellar physics driven by satellite and telescope observations of unprecedented quality and scope. New insights on stellar evolution and stellar interiors physics are being made possible by asteroseismology, the study of stars by the observation of natural, resonant oscillations.

Exoplanets around Red Giants: Distribution and Habitability
Galaxies, 2023 As the search for exoplanets continues, more are being discovered orbiting Red Giant stars. We use current data from the NASA Exoplanet Archive to investigate planet distribution around Red Giant stars and their presence in the host’s habitable zone.

Red Giant Branch Stars: The Theoretical Framework [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2002 Theoretical predictions of Red Giant Branch stars' effective temperatures, colors, luminosities and surface chemical abundances are a necessary tool for the astrophysical interpretation of the visible--near infrared integrated light from unresolved stellar populations, the Color-Magnitude-Diagrams of resolved stellar clusters and galaxies, and ...

Investigating APOKASC Red Giant Stars with Abnormal Carbon-to-nitrogen Ratios
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The success of galactic archeology and the reconstruction of the formation history of our Galaxy relies critically on precise ages for large populations of stars. For evolved stars in the red clump and red giant branch, the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio ([C/N]

Sulfur and zinc abundances of red giant stars† [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 2016 Abstract Sulfur and zinc are chemically volatile elements, which play significant roles as depletion-free tracers in studying galactic chemical evolution. However, regarding red giants having evolved off the main sequence, reliable abundance determinations of S and Zn seem to be difficult, despite the several studies that have been ...

Magnetic Mixing in Red Giant and Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2008 Replaced to correct small error in published version: In \S 2.1, paragraphs 2 and 3 incorrectly refer to the poloidal field when qualitatively discussing magnetic diffusion in the shear zone. The correct physical interpretation is that the toroidal field diffuses through the shear zone consistent with the value of $\beta_\phi$

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 CoRoT and Kepler measurements reveal us that the amplitudes of solar-like oscillations detected in red giant stars scale from stars to stars in a characteristic way. This observed scaling relation is not yet fully understood but constitutes potentially a
