We still don’t know exactly what happens to low mass stars when they die as the universe has not been around long enough for a low mass star to stop fusing hydrogen into helum. It is believed that a star with a solar mass of less than 0.5 will never be able to fuse helum even after the core stops hydrogen fusion. The star is not massive enough to exert pressure on its core. These are called red dwarfs. An example of a red dwarf is Proxima Centauri‚ which is shown
