White dwarf — For other uses, see White dwarf (disambiguation). Image of Sirius A and Sirius B taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. Sirius B, which is a white dwarf, can be seen as a faint pinprick of light to the lower left of the much brighter Sirius A … Wikipedia
Carbon star — A carbon star is a late type star similar to a red giant (or occasionally to a red dwarf) whose atmosphere contains more carbon than oxygen; the two elements combine in the upper layers of the star, forming carbon monoxide, which consumes all the … Wikipedia
white dwarf star — Any of a class of small, faint stars representing the end point of the evolution of stars without enough mass to become neutron stars or black holes. Named for the white colour of the first ones discovered, they actually occur in a variety of… … Universalium
Dwarf star — The term dwarf star refers to a variety of distinct classes of stars. Dwarf star alone generally refers to any main sequence star, a star of luminosity class V. Red dwarfs are low mass main sequence stars. Yellow dwarfs are main sequence (dwarf)… … Wikipedia

Carbon burning process — The carbon burning process is a set of nuclear fusion reactions that take place in massive stars (at least 4 MSun at birth) that have used up the lighter elements in their cores. It requires high temperatures (6 times;108 K) and densities (about… … Wikipedia
Pulsating white dwarf — V777 Herculis star redirects here. For the star, see GD 358. A pulsating white dwarf is a white dwarf star whose luminosity varies due to non radial gravity wave pulsations within itself. Known types of pulsating white dwarfs include DAV, or ZZ… … Wikipedia
Brown dwarf — Brown dwarfs are sub stellar objects which are too low in mass to sustain hydrogen 1 fusion reactions in their cores, which is characteristic of stars on the main sequence. Brown dwarfs have fully convective surfaces and interiors, with no… … Wikipedia
