Extract

The K giants are the brightest stars in clusters of both intermediate (∽ 108 years) and old (∽ 109-10 years) age. They have strong metal lines and strong bands of CN and CH in the optical spectrum, and are the logical objects in which to measure the metal abundance of such stellar systems and trace the evolution of heavy elements in the universe.
