The Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment. Red Clump Stars as a Distance Indicator
We present calibration of the mean I-band brightness of red clump stars on metallic-ity. Red clump stars were proposed to be a very attractive standard candle for distance determination. The calibration is based on 218 nearby red giant stars whose high quality spectra allowed to determine accurate individual metal abundances. High quality par-allaxes (σπ/π < 10%) and photometry of these very br...

متن کاملThe Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment. Population Effects on the Mean Brightness of the Red Clump Stars
We present an empirical test indicating that the mean I-band magnitude of the red clump stars, used as the standard candle in the recent distance determinations to the Magellanic Clouds and other objects, is age independent for intermediate age (2−10 Gyr) stars. Fifteen star clusters of age ≈ 1. were observed and their color-magnitude diagrams are presented. The mean I-band brightness of the re...
