A red giant is a very large, relatively cool star comprised mainly of ionized atoms. Helium is a common element found within a star of this spectral class, simply due to the fact that they have all but depleted their supply of hydrogen.
If the star is massive enough, then the helium within it will begin to fuse due to the pressure and temperatures within the star. If the star is relatively small, then it will begin to fade away.
The average temperatures of red giants are between 2500 and 3500 degrees Kelvin.
A binary pair of a red giant and pulsar make up the Vandor system, chosen by Paul Manheim as the site of temporal experiments because of the system's unique gravity signature. (TNG:"We'll Always Have Paris")
