We cross-matched asteroseismic and astrometric\u0000data for over 6,400 RGB and RC stars from the APO-K2 catalogue with the TESS\u0000Input Catalogue v8.2 to obtain precise V band magnitudes and E(B-V) colour\u0000excesses. We then adopted two different SBCRs from the literature to derive\u0000stellar radius estimates, denoted as $R^a$ and $R^b$, respectively. We analysed\u0000the ratio of these SBCR-derived radii to the asteroseismic radius estimates,\u0000$R$, provided in the APO-K2 catalogue. Both SBCRs exhibited good agreement with\u0000asteroseismic radius estimates. On average, $R^a$ was overestimated by 1.2%\u0000with respect to $R$, while $R^b$ was underestimated by 2.5%. For stars larger\u0000than 20 $R_{odot}$, SBCR radii are systematically lower than asteroseismic\u0000ones. The agreement with asteroseismic radii shows a strong dependence on the\u0000parallax. The dispersion is halved for stars with a parallax greater than 2.5\u0000mas. In this subsample, $R^b$ showed perfect agreement with $R$, while $R^a$\u0000remained slightly overestimated by 3%. A trend with [Fe/H] of 4% to 6% per dex\u0000was found. For stars less massive than about 0.95 $M_{odot}$, SBCR radii were\u0000significantly higher than asteroseismic ones, by about 6%. This overestimation\u0000correlated with the presence of extended helium cores in these stars'\u0000structures relative to their envelopes. Furthermore, radius ratios showed a\u0000dichotomous behaviour at higher masses, mainly due to the presence of several\u0000RC stars with SBCR radii significantly lower with respect to asteroseismology.\u0000This behaviour originates from a different response of asteroseismic scaling\u0000relations and SBCR to [$alpha$/Fe] abundance ratios for massive stars, both in\u0000RGB and RC phases, which is reported here for the first time.","PeriodicalId":501068,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Solar and Stellar Astrophysics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142258036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different spot distribution\u0000patterns, photosphere-spot contrast ratios and the presence or absence of the\u0000convective blueshift lead to differences in CLM signals between M dwarfs and G\u0000dwarfs.
