Scientific paper

Possible red horizontal branch (HB) stars in the Galactic field are analyzed using the Vilnius intermediate land photometric system. Temperatures, luminosities and metallicities are given and the system is considered to be the most suitable to isolate red horizontal branch objects. Results show that the number of metal-rich stars on the red HB should exceed the number of metal-rich RR Lyrae-type stars. Eight stars are suspected to belong to the HB branch on the basis of seven color photometry. The spectral types were found to be within F5 and G2 and luminosities in between III and I classes. Most of the stars were classified as metal-deficient.
