A secondary clump of red giant stars: why and where
Based on the results of detailed population synthesis models, Girardi et al. (1998) recently claimed that the clump of red giants in the colour–magnitude diagram (CMD) of composite stellar populations should present an extension to lower luminosities, which goes down to about 0.4 mag below the main clump. This feature is made of stars just massive enough for having ignited helium in nondegenera...
متن کاملFar-red spectroscopy of peculiar stars and the GAIA mission
The coming GAIA Cornerstone mission by ESA will provide micro-arcsec astrometry, ∼10 bands photometry and far-red spectroscopy for a huge number of stars in the Galaxy (109). GAIA spectroscopy will cover the range 8480–8740 Å which includes the CaII triplet and the head of the Paschen series. In this paper we address the diagnostic potential of this wavelength range toward detection of peculiar...
متن کاملGalactocentric Distance With the OGLE and Hipparcos Red Clump Stars
We compare red clump stars with parallaxes known to better than 10% in the Hipparcos catalog and corrected for the interstellar extinction, with the OGLE red clump stars in Baade’s Window also corrected for the interstellar extinction. There are ∼ 600 and ∼ 10, 000 such stars in the two data sets, respectively. We find empirically that the average I-band magnitude of red clump stars does not de...
متن کاملAsteroseismology of red-clump stars with CoRoTand Kepler
The availability of asteroseismic constraints for a large number of red giants with CoRoT and, in the near future with Kepler, paves the way for detailed studies of populations of galactic-disk red giants. We investigate which information on the observed population can be recovered by the distribution of the observed seismic constraints: the frequency of maximum power of solar-like oscillations...
متن کاملRed Clump Stars as a Tracer of Microlensing Optical Depth
Zaritsky and Lin have recently suggested that the color magnitude diagram of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) contains evidence of foreground red clump stars. They interpret this as evidence of tidal debris or a dwarf galaxy at a distance of ∼ 35 kpc which may be responsible for the large gravitational microlensing optical depth observed by the MACHO Collaboration. I derive a relationship betwe...
