Scientific paper

Two grids of horizontal-branch evolutionary sequences are presented which extend the grid of Sweigart and Gross (1976) to higher masses and higher metallicities. These two grids were constructed specifically for the study of red clump stars observed in intermediate-age star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds and in the Galaxy. An additional evolutionary track, with a thick hydrogen-burning shell which simulates the effect of a modest amount of mixing from the helium core into the shell at the time of the helium-core flash, is also presented. It is found that a small amount of mixing does not alter in a significant way the standard course of horizontal-branch evolution.
