This series of papers comprises a systematic exploration of the hypothesis that the far ultraviolet radiation from star clusters and elliptical galaxies originates from extremely hot horizontal-branch (HB) stars and their post-HB progeny. This first paper presents an extensive grid of calculations of stellar models from the Zero Age Horizontal Branch through to a point late in post-HB evolution or a point on the white dwarf cooling track. We use the term `Extreme Horizontal Branch' (EHB) to refer to HB sequences of constant mass that do not reach the thermally-pulsing stage on the AGB. These models evolve after core helium exhaustion

  1. Multiple populations along the asymptotic giant branch: a Gaia+APOGEE study of 22 Galactic globular clusters

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    In nine of 22 globular clusters the most extreme second-population stars are underrepresented on the AGB relative to the RGB, with anomalous stars showing even stronger AGB-manqué signatures.

  2. A Helium-shell Burning Blue Horizontal Branch Star Produced from Common Envelope Evolution

    astro-ph.SR 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Feige 64 is a 0.35 solar mass helium-shell-burning BHB star in a 0.826-day orbit with a 1.26 solar mass white dwarf, best explained as a common-envelope remnant.

  3. Shaping the horizontal branch: The role of envelope mass in the evolution of stripped core-helium-burning stars

    astro-ph.SR 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    MESA models show residual hydrogen envelope mass sets effective temperature on the horizontal branch, with maximum values of 0.05-0.30 solar masses to avoid later thermally pulsing AGB evolution, plus explanations for...

  4. Studying hot evolved stars with ultraviolet spectroscopy

    astro-ph.IM 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    Review of UV spectroscopy applications to hot evolved stars, emphasizing HST contributions and the need for continued observations ahead of HWO.

  5. Selected Results on Variable Stars Observed by TESS

    astro-ph.SR 2025-09 unverdicted

    A curated review of TESS-era results across the major classes of variable stars, with illustrative light curves, but with no new observational or theoretical result.
