Hydrogen-deficient star a faint blue star in 1994 to a yellow supergiant in 1996. One proposed mechanism for this migration is the final helium flash scenario. He-sdB are subdwarfs with class B spectra with broader than usual H, HeI, and HeII lines. JL 87 in 1991 was the first He-sdB star to be reported. Since then this class of stars has been shown to have a wide range of hydrogen-to-helium ratios. Compact He-sdO stars have class O spectra, are typically nitrogen-rich, and may or may not be carbon-rich. Low-gravity He-sdO stars overlap with their compact cousins, but have lower surface gravity.

Red giant system, if present, uninhabitable, some research suggests that, during the evolution of a star along the red-giant branch, it could harbor a habitable zone for several times 10 years at 2 AU out to around 10 years at 9 AU out, giving perhaps enough time for life to develop on a suitable world. After the red-giant stage, there would for such a star be a habitable zone between 7 and 22 AU for an additional 10 years. Later studies have refined this scenario, showing how for a star the habitable zone lasts from 10 years for a planet with an
