A white dwarf is the last stage of a low mass stars life. After a red giant is done fusing helium to carbon and oxygen, the star will collapse to a white swarf. White dwarves are usually between 15,000-6,000 kelvins.
A white dwarf is formed when a small or medium-sized star runs out of fuel in its core. The star becomes a red giant and later blow off the shell into the interstellar space. The remaining core becomes a white dwarf.
