Position of the star in the HR diagram. M_G is calculated using the minimum luminosity and assuming E_B − V = 0.6 for the Gaia rgeo (blue) and rpgeo (yellow) distances. The points are superimposed on the Gaia data for low-extinction nearby giants (Fig. 10 in Gaia Collaboration 2018) and lie close to the Red Clump, and well within the distribution of a larger sample of stars (see e.g. Fig. 5 in the same paper).
