Redgiant by Scott MillerRedgiant by Scott Miller |
| Stars evolve into the red giant phase once they have exhausted their supply of hydrogen in the core. |
| |
|
|
|
Supergiants by Scott Miller |
| A Supergiant (the mass of the star is about 3 to 9 solar masses) occurs once a massive star has used up its hydrogen in the core. |

Chronicle of a Death Foretold : Two of the World's Largest Interferometric Facilities Team-up to Study a Red Giant Star |
| Using ESO's VLTI on Cerro Paranal and the VLBA facility operated by NRAO, an international team of astronomers has made what is arguably the most detailed study of the environment of a pulsating red giant star. They performed, for the first time, a series of coordinated observations of three separate layers within the star's tenuous outer envelope: the molecular shell, the dust shell, and the
maser shell, leading to significant progress in our understanding of the mechanism of how, before dying, evolved stars lose mass and return it to the interstellar medium. |
