The open triangles are thick-disk clusters; open circles, old halo clusters; filled circles, young-halo clusters; filled triangles, corona clusters; and crosses, metal-poor clusters with unknown (B–R)/(B+V+R) . Only clusters with R<60 kpc are shown in (c). A sharp jump near [Fe/H]=-1.0 is seen in all plots. discussion in the text | previous figure | next figure .

... Under certain conditions, like those in the nucleus of a QSO, all atoms can be made to emit light at particular wavelengths. ... If that source is approaching the observer, the wave is squashed up onto itself making the wavelength shorter. ... This is redshift. ... You can see how the section of the QSO spectrum which we observe changes with redshift. ... We then see how far we had to slide the observed spectrum along the scale to make it match and that is the objects redshift. ... The 2QZ team . ...
