Nearly a decade ago, “yellow giants” were introduced as a new class of low-amplitude radial-velocity variable stars. In this report we discuss new results for 12 spectral type K and early-M giants based on long-term monitoring using both the hydrogen-fluoride and iodine-cell techniques. We compare these results with those of published data for 3 additional stars (ϒ Cephei, β Geminorum, and β Ophiuchi), and discuss possible implications for the underlying physical mechanism(s).
