That depends on how massive the star was originally. Stars less than a tenth the size of our Sun will never die; they will, over the next 30 billion years, gradually fade away as the hydrogen fuel is depleted.

Stars the size of our Sun, when their hydrogen runs low, will begin to collapse under their own gravity. The gravity is so intense that the collapse will generate enough heat and pressure to kick off helium fusion, and the Sun will grow into a red giant.

Helium fusion can generate carbon. It's remotely possible that our sun will die by becoming an enormous glowing diamond.

Very large stars will explode and form neutron stars or pulsars, and extremely large stars will explode in SUPERNOVA explosions.The end result would be a black hole.

Small dense stars are degenerate objects formed towards the end of a star's life fusing hydrogen as a fuel. The type of degenerate star produced depends on how massive it precursor star was.

A star of a mass equal to that of our Sun will produces a small White Dwarf.

A star about 8 times the mass of our Sun will produce a Neutron Star (which may be a Pulsar and or a Maganatar)

Much more massive stars gravitationally implode to produce Black Holes at the end of their lives.

There are three possibilities, depending on the initial mass of the star.

Stars the size of our Sun or smaller will eventually "burn out" into brown dwarf stars.

Stars about twice the mass of our Sun will collapse in a nova explosion and be crushed into neutron stars. If the neutron star has a fast enough spin, they are sometimes called "pulsars".

Very massive stars will be destroyed in a supernova explosion, leaving behind a "black hole in space". In a black hole, the mass is so dense and the gravity so strong that light itself cannot escape.

A dense, dying star is a white dwarf star. All of the energy in a star compacts together and becomes smaller so that its not burning so much energy, this makes it very dense.

Probably how usual (bigger maybe) stars form but smaller gasses and smaller stuff... I'm not so sure.

It can be a brown dwarf, a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.

Small, hot, stars that can be blue or white are called dwarf stars.

Dwarf star. Dwarf stars are much dimmer and smaller than normal stars, and are sometimes referred to as "main sequence" stars.
