The least massive brown dwarf known is OTS 44. It is only 15 times the mass of Jupiter. The least massive star is a red dwarf called Wolf 424B, which is in the constellation Virgo. Its co-ordinates are: RA:12h 30m 17.2s Dec:+09° 01' 15" Wolf 424B's apparent magnitude is 13.18. It has a companion star called GJ 473 B. The orbital period of the stars is 16.2 years.

What will happen to a star once all its fuel is gone?

The answer depends on the original mass of the star. If it was not too massive, it will shrink to a dwarf star. If it was sufficiently massive, it will explode as a nova. A really massive star, exploding as a supernova, will leave behind either a neutron star, a pulsar or a black hole.
