| Type | Mass Range | Characteristics | |------|------------|------------------| | | 0.3 - 8 M☉ | Early phase; hydrogen shell burning; inert helium core. | | Red Clump (Horizontal Branch) | 0.3 - 2.25 M☉ | Helium core fusion; stable, smaller radius. | | Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) | 0.3 - 8 M☉ | Double shell burning; heavy mass loss; thermal pulses. | | Red Supergiant | >8 M☉ | Massive stars; much larger and more luminous; end in supernovae. | She spent her days curating: a Mozart concerto,
