Scientific paper

The thermal stability of stars with a condensed core and an extended
convective envelope (red giants) is discussed. It is shown that the
thermal stability is determined by the way the opacity of the
photosphere depends on density and temperature. In particular, the H(-)
opacity in red giants' photospheres ensures their stability.
