For example, it is well known that a star smaller than about one-tenth of the solar mass is unable to undergo the hydrogen burning phase, since at a certain stage of its pre-main-sequence contraction electron degeneracy sets in and afterwards the central temperature has to decrease. 1), 2),B) On the ...
