	First glimpse of the dynamics of a red giant
		Red giants have hot, dense stellar cores which are surrounded by vast, diffuse stellar envelopes.
		The principal interest of this simulation for the LCSE team was the potentially global nature of the stellar convection, its potential coupling to global modes of radial pulsation of the stellar envelope, and the strong effects of compressibility of the gas which result from the nearly sonic gas motions induced, especially near the stellar surface.
		The red giant simulation therefore advanced not only the frontier of stellar astrophysics but also a frontier of parallel computation, exploiting the DSM hardware and the shared memory programming model to achieve nearly transparent computational load balancing over 128 powerful CPUs.

	Red giant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, a red giant is a large non-main sequence star of stellar classification K or M; so-named because of the reddish appearance of the cooler giant stars.
		They are believed to be stars of near solar mass or higher which have exhausted the supply of hydrogen in their cores and switched to fusing hydrogen in a shell outside the core.
		Stars of spectral types O through K are believed to become red giants (or supergiants in the case of O and B stars).

	red giant
		A giant star with a surface temperature of 2,500 to 3,500°C, a spectral type of M or K, and a diameter between 10 and 100 times times that of the Sun.
		Red giants represent a late stage in the evolution of stars with a range of masses, from just under the mass of the Sun to tens of solar masses (see stars, evolution of).
		The largest red giants, which form from the most massive of stars, are known as red supergiants.

		They are believed to be stars of near solar mass or higher which have exhausted the supply of hydrogen in their cores and started fusing helium in a shell outside the core.
		Red dwarfs (of spectral type M), and possibly even the cooler of the K orange dwarfs as well may not have enough mass to initiate helium fusion, and therefore rather than become red giants, may simply burn out as they die.
		Stars may enter a red giant phase several times if they are capable of fusing elements more massive than helium in their cores.

	Great Red Spot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Great Red Spot is an anticyclonic hypercane on the planet Jupiter, 22° south of the equator, which has lasted at least 340 years.
		This dramatic view of Jupiter's Great Red Spot and its surroundings was obtained by Voyager 1 on February 25, 1979, when the spacecraft was 5.7 million miles (9.2 million kilometers) from Jupiter.
		The Great Red Spot should not be confused with the Great Dark Spot, famously seen in the atmosphere of Neptune by Voyager 2 in 1989.

	AAVSO: Variable Star of the Month, EU Delphini
		The first pulsating red giant variable star (Mira) was discovered in 1596 by David Fabricius (1564-1617) -- the 400th anniversary of this event was recently celebrated at the 85th AAVSO Annual Meeting held in Cambridge, MA in 1996 (Journal of the AAVSO Volume 25, Number 2, 1997).
		Pulsating red giants (apart from the Mira stars) have been much less studied than the Cepheids for instance, mostly because of their irregularity; it takes years or decades of observations to fully understand these stars.
		The radii of red giants are not only difficult to measure, but they are also difficult to define, because of the tenuous nature of their atmospheres.

		One of its most interesting characteristics was The Giant's ability to create abrasive music in even the quietest passages, making the record surprisingly "difficult." There was no question, however, that the band pioneered some interesting territory, even if the disc's sound quality was rather distractingly constricted.

	Coronal activity may be 'buried alive' in red giant stars, say Colorado researchers
		When Earth's sun expands into a red giant star in roughly five billion years, long after Earth has become uninhabitable, the hydrogen core will be burned out and the bloated outer shell will be cool and murky.
		But according to new research by the University of Colorado at Boulder, such red giants still retain surface magnetic storms and coronas -- the very hot and patchy outer atmosphere of the sun and sun-like stars -- at temperatures of millions of degrees Fahrenheit that often signal stellar youth.
		The red giant coronal regions, however, appear to be submerged in the extended outer shell known as the chromosphere, "buried alive" in these red giants.

		It is red because it is cooler than the protostar phase and it is a giant because the outer shell has expanded outward.
		As a red giant, the hydrogen gas in the outer shell continues to burn as the temperature in the core continues to rise.
		Once massive stars reach the red giant phase, the core temperature continues to increase as carbon atoms are formed from the fusion of helium atoms.

	Universe Today - Stars Can Survive Being Engulfed
		The white dwarf used to be a red giant star many times larger than our own Sun which blew up so large the Sun-like star was completely engulfed, but it actually survived the ordeal; it bears the unique signature of material that it accreted while it was inside the giant's envelope.
		The carbon-poor material in the core of the red giant is mixed with outer part of the star, so its atmosphere will have a deficit of carbon, as compared with Sun-like stars, as shown in the figure.
		If a red giant is part of binary system of closely orbiting stars, the evolution of the secondary star can be dramatically affected.

		The giant planet in orbit around HD 47536 probably is starting to witness some dramatic events.

		With over 70 other giant stars still under close scrutiny, the ESO team is working hard to sift through the observational data.

		A red dwarf is a small, cool, very faint, main sequence star whose surface temperature is under about 4,000 K. Red dwarfs are the most common type of star.
		A red supergiant is a relatively old star whose diameter is about 100 times bigger than it was originally, and had become cooler (the surface temperature is under 6,500 K).
		The red shift is an increase in the wavelength of the light that is emitted from an object that is moving away from us.
