Giant Stars with Shell Sources of C-N and p-p Reactions

Abstract:

Structures of giant stars of population II producing energy in the C-N shell source are studied taking account of the contribution of the ion pressure in the partially degenerate isothermal core and also of the exact fitting of the radiative region to the convective one. Further, it is found that pure hydrogen stars producing energy in the p-p shell source can also explain the giant branch of population II if the effect of the ion pressure is included in the core.
