A Wide View of the Galactic Globular Cluster NGC 2808: Red Giant and Horizontal Branch Star Spatial Distributions

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Wide-field and deep DECam multiband photometry, combined with HST data for the core of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 2808, allowed us to study the distribution of various stellar subpopulations and stars in different evolutionary phases out to the ...

An Eclipsing Binary Comprising Two Active Red Stragglers of Identical Mass and Synchronized Rotation: A Post-mass-transfer System or Just Born That Way?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We report the discovery of 2M0056–08 as an equal-mass eclipsing binary (EB), comprising two red straggler stars (RSSs) with an orbital period of 33.9 days. Both stars have masses of ≈1.419 M _⊙ , identical to within 0.2%.

Red giant seismology: Observations

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
The CoRoT and Kepler missions provide us with thousands of red-giant light curves that allow a very precise asteroseismic study of these objects. Before CoRoT and Kepler, the red-giant oscillation patterns remained obscure.

Nucleosynthesis in Red Giant Stars [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 2002
The production of elements from helium-3 to fluorine in low- and intermediate-mass stars is reviewed and compared to chemical abundances observed at the surface of both red giant branch and asymptotic giant branch stars. It is highlighted that, while the trends predicted by standard models are generally well confirmed, many chemical abundances observed

Grains in the Atmospheres of Red Giant Stars [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2001
Model atmospheres for cool giant stars are usually computed with detailed equation of state and opacity calculations that include many molecular species. We show that models of oxygen-rich stars with effective temperatures below 3000 K must also include dust grains.

Oscillations in g-mode period spacings in red giants as a way to determine their state of evolution

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
In this work we consider the sensitivity of gravity-mode period spacings to sharp changes in the inner structure of red giant stars, more specifically in the buoyancy frequency inside the g-mode propagation cavity.

Giant Planet Engulfment by Evolved Giant Stars: Light Curves, Asteroseismology, and Survivability

open access: yesThe 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.
