Calibrating the Mixing Length Parameter for a Red Giant Envelope
Two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations were made to calibrate the mixing length parameter for modeling red giant’s convective envelope. As was briefly reported in Asida & Tuchman 1997, a comparison of simulations starting with models integrated with different values of the mixing length parameter, has been made. In this paper more results are presented, including tests of the spatial resolu...

متن کاملUncertainties in Red Giant Branch Evolution : The Red Giant Branch
A Monte Carlo simulation exploring uncertainties in standard stellar evolution theory on the red giant branch of metal-poor globular clusters has been conducted. Confidence limits are derived on the absolute V -band magnitude of the bump in the red giant branch luminosity function (MV,b) and the excess number of stars in the bump, Rb. The analysis takes into account uncertainties in the primord...
متن کاملAluminum Abundances on the Red Giant Branch: Testing Helium Mixing as a Second Parameter
Although globular cluster horizontal-branch (HB) morphology is determined primarily by the cluster metallicity, observations have shown that clusters with similar metallicities sometimes have very different HB's, indicating the existence of a second parameter. Sweigart (1997, 1999) suggested that deep mixing on the red giant branch (RGB) may be a second parameter if He is mixed into the stellar...
متن کاملMass Loss on the Red Giant Branch and the Second-Parameter Phenomenon
The “second-parameter effect” is characterized by the existence of globular clusters (GCs) with similar metallicity [Fe/H] (the “first parameter”) but different horizontal-branch (HB) morphologies. One of the primary second-parameter candidates is cluster age. In the present paper, we address the following issue: “Are the age differences between second-parameter GCs, as derived from their main-...
