Stellar Evolution Near the Bottom of the Main Sequence

A star is a factory with a fixed supply of raw materials. The nature of its life is dictated by the amount of mass, and to a lesser extent, the nature of the materials bequeathed at birth. In essence the lower the mass, the cooler the star and hence the more sedately the star burns its fuel. This book is dedicated to the coolest stars in the universe – the orange, K-class and more particularly the red, M-class dwarf stars.

   Proton capture on deuterium requires the least energy and this explains why it occurs readily in low mass objects (>13 Jupiter-masses).
