Peculiar Red Giants in External Galaxies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Study of the late-type stellar content in external galaxies provides numerous clues for the theory of stellar evolution, for star-formation scenarios in galaxies, and for proper models of the luminosity evolution of galaxies which are then used in cosmological studies. In addition, these late-type stars can be used as distance indicators themselves and yield a local value of the Hubble constant consistent with recent Cepheid determinations.
