Abstract: | Information about space distribution is collected for selected classes of evolving stars in the globular cluster M13. After a rigorous elimination of field stars, three samples are examined, corresponding to the red giant stage (G), the blue (B) and the yellow (YG) parts of the horizontal branch. It is shown that results are easy to understand in terms of: - A substantial mass loss in the H-shell burning stage;
- Evolution along the horizontal branch from the blue side to the red one;
- A mixing in the observed giant branch of two populations with sensible differences in masses.
Theoretical interpretations are briefly discussed with reference to the reliability and usefulness of this type of investigation. |
