Question

What is the predicted outcome for very low mass stars (those that are smaller than about the mass of the sun)?

Answer 1

Answer:

In case of low-mass stars,the outer layers of the low mass stars are expelled  as the core collapses such that the outer layers form a planetary nebula.

Explanation:

In case of low-mass stars,the outer layers of the low mass stars are expelled  as the core collapses such that the outer layers form a planetary nebula. The core remains as a white dwarf and finally become a black dwarf as it cools down. A low mass star consumes its core hydrogen and turns it into helium over its lifetime.
