The Red Giant Branch Bump
arXiv:astro-ph/0303295
Abstract
We present a comparison between theoretical models and the observed magnitude difference between the horizontal branch and the red giant branch bump for a sample of 53 clusters. We find a general agreement, though some discrepancy is still present at the two extremes of the metallicity range of globular clusters.
