More recently, this inclined geometry for field stars in the LMC has been confirmed via observations of Cepheids, core helium-burning red clump stars and the tip of the red giant branch.

The preceding evolutionary stage is currently represented by the cluster's four red clump giants.

Proteins are designated H ( hemagglutinin ) for morbilliviruses as they possess haemagglutination activity, observed as an ability to cause red blood cells to clump in laboratory tests.

An accurate determination of the distance to the Galactic Center as established from variable stars ( e. g., RR Lyrae variables ) or standard candles ( e. g., red clump stars ) is hindered by countless effects, which include: an ambiguous reddening law ; a bias for smaller values of the distance to the Galactic Center because of a preferential sampling of stars toward the near side of the Galactic bulge owing to interstellar extinction ; and an uncertainty in characterizing how a mean distance to a group of variable stars found in the direction of the Galactic bulge relates to the distance to the Galactic Center.

The name " hemagglutinin " comes from the protein's ability to cause red blood cells ( erythrocytes ) to clump together (" agglutinate ") in vitro.

It belongs to a population known as red clump giants, which means it is generating energy through the fusion of helium at its core.

A related class of stars is the clump giants, those belonging to the so-called red clump, which are the relatively younger ( and hence more massive ) and usually more metal-rich population I counterparts to HB stars ( which belong to population II ).

In effect, the red clump represents one extreme of horizontal branch morphology: all the stars are at the red end of the horizontal branch, and may be difficult to distinguish from stars ascending the red giant branch for the first time.

This is the horizontal branch ( for population II stars ) or red clump ( for population I stars ).

The young Tom wore a red baseball cap with a blue stripe on his head, and the young Jerry had a spiky clump of hair on his head and sported a red bow tie ( a symbol of the 1975 Hanna-Barbera Tom and Jerry cartoons ).

Presently it is generating energy through the nuclear fusion of helium at its core, which, considering the star's composition, places it along an evolutionary branch termed the red clump.

It is regarded as a red clump giant that burns helium at its core.

The red clump is marked RC on the green line showing the evolution of a star of 2 solar masses.

The red clump is considered the metal-rich counterpart to the horizontal branch.

In theory, the absolute luminosities of stars in the red clump are fairly independent of stellar composition or age so that consequently they make good standard candles for estimating astronomical distances both within our galaxy and to nearby galaxies and clusters.

ε Andromedae is believed to be a red clump star which is fusing helium in its core.

This star is a red clump giant star that has begun generating energy through the fusion of helium at its core, having passed through the red giant branch of its evolution.

This is especially true of red wines, and a practice which, though not always practicable, is well worth the effort.

In this way, red wine warms of itself quite rapidly -- and though it is true that it may not attain its potential of taste and fragrance until after the middle of the meal ( or the course ), in the meantime it will have run the gamut of many beguiling and interesting stages.

This does not mean, though, that a red wine improves with prolonged aeration: there is a reasonable limit -- and wines kept over to the next meal or the next day, after they have once been opened, are never as good.

very old red wine is often decanted so that the puckering, bitter elements which have settled to the bottom will not be mingled with the wine itself.

Though there are many exceptions, which we have noted in preceding pages, white wine is as a rule best consumed between two and six years old, and red wines, nowadays, between three and ten.

Or you could hope the parachute wouldn't open just so you could say you saw it not open, not because you meant any harm to Starkey Poe in his suit of red underwear, but mainly because you were tired of being an old maid -- a thing which cannot admit when it thinks it might be pregnant, but must stand the dizzy feeling all alone and go on like everything is all right instead of being able to say to somebody in a normal voice: `` I think I'm pregnant ''.

The red bars mark the pivot element ; at the start of the animation, the element farthest to the right hand side is chosen as the pivot.
