Effects of envelope overshoot on the bump of the Red Giant Branch luminosity function
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2016
Abstract
We show that a certain amount of non-local overshoot at the base of the outer convective envelop of low mass stars, while climbing along the RGB toward central He-ignition, explains the shift of about 0.4V mag required to bring the luminosity of the bump predicted in the theoretical RGB luminosity functions into agreement with the observational one.
