1301.7687 (Alessandro Bressan et al.)

Red Giant evolution and specific problems    [PDF]

Alessandro Bressan, Paola Marigo, Leo Girardi, Ambra Nanni, Stefano Rubele
In spite of the great effort made in the last decades to improve our understanding of stellar evolution, significant uncertainties still remain due to our poor knowledge of some complex physical processes that still require an empirical calibration, such as the efficiency of convective heat transport and interior mixing. Here we will review the impact of these uncertainties on the evolution of red giant stars.
