Red-giant branch the star when it reaches the horizontal branch, so the properties of red-clump stars can be used to determine the mass difference before and after the helium flash. Mass lost from red giants also determines the mass and properties of the white dwarfs that form subsequently. Estimates of total mass loss for stars that reach the tip of the red-giant branch are around . Most of this is lost within the final million years before the helium flash. Mass lost by more-massive stars that leave the red-giant branch before the helium flash is more difficult to measure directly. The current
Red Star OS commands on the computer if the user clicks on a correspondingly prepared link. This is probably due to a problem when processing URLs that perform functions such as Mailto or calendar without the parameters to clean up unwanted code fragments. Red Star OS Red Star OS () is a North Korean Linux distribution, with development first starting in 1998 at the Korea Computer Center (KCC). Prior to its release, computers in North Korea typically used Red Hat Linux and Windows XP Version 3.0 was released in the summer of 2013, but , version 1.0 continues to be more widely used.
