Stellar Evolution
... After the red giant phase, massive stars contract again allowing the core to become hot enough to fuse heavier and heavier elements until they reach iron. When this occurs the star doesn’t have enough energy to further fuse iron so gravity quickly crushes the star, causing the protons and electrons ...

Astronomical spectroscopy
Astronomical spectroscopy is the study of astronomy using the techniques of spectroscopy to measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, which radiates from stars and other hot celestial objects. Spectroscopy can be used to derive many properties of distant stars and galaxies, such as their chemical composition, temperature, density, mass, distance, luminosity, and relative motion using Doppler shift measurements.
