... Observers looking at an object that is moving away from them see light that has a longer wavelength than it had when it was emitted (a redshift), while observers looking at an approaching source see light that is shifted to shorter wavelength (a blueshift). ... By measuring the amount of the shift to the red, we can determine that the bright galaxy is moving away at 3,000 km/sec, which is 1 percent of the speed of light, because its lines are shifted in wavelength by 1 percent to the red. ...

Stellar models are one of the backbones of modern astronomy. ... Here we review the evolution and importance of core helium burning stars and then discuss a range of methods, both theoretical and observational, that we are using to advance the models. Known observationally as SdB, red clump, horizontal branch, and second clump stars, core helium burning stars are numerous and relatively luminous and therefore contribute disproportionately to distant/extragalactic emission. ...
