Red Clump stars in the Boötes III stellar system
We report on the detection of a population of Red Clump (RC) stars probably associated with the recently discovered stellar system Boötes III. The RC is identified as a 3σ peak in the Luminosity Function (LF) of colour-selected stars extracted from the SDSS database. The peak is consistently detected in the g, r, i and z LFs at the expected luminosity of a typical RC at the distance of Boötes I...
متن کاملFine structure of the red clump in Local Group galaxies
Some fine structures can nowadays be identified in the high-quality colour-magnitude diagrams (CMD) of Local Group galaxies. The clump of red giants, for instance, may present a significant colour spread, and extensions to both brighter and fainter luminosities. Such features are predicted by population synthesis models which consider stars in the complete relevant ranges of ages and metallicit...
متن کاملA 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 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 کاملWeighing the local dark matter with RAVE red clump stars
We determine the Galactic potential in the solar neigbourhood from RAVE observations. We select red clump stars for which accurate distances, radial velocities, and metallicities have been measured. Combined with data from the 2MASS and UCAC catalogues, we build a sample of ∼4600 red clump stars within a cylinder of 500 pc radius oriented in the direction of the South Galactic Pole, in the rang...
