No, a dead star is different from a black dwarf. A black dwarf is a type of stellar remnant, but not all stars become black dwarfs. When a star dies it will leave behind a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black dwarf as a remnant depending on its mass. Given enough time a white dwarf will eventually cool to a black dwarf. The universe is not old enough for this cooling to have happened yet.

What do you think the difference is between a black dwarf and a supernova explosion?

A black dwarf is a dead white dwarf. By dead, I mean a star that no longer burns. A white dwarf, in turn, is a dead "moderate" star (a star like our sun). So a black dwarf is a star that's died twice, with mass not much higher or probably lower than that of our sun. A supernova, is the "death" of a star that's really huge. By huge, I mean it has a mass that's considerably higher than that of our sun. That kind of star doesn't turn into a white dwarf. Rather, it becomes either a neutron star (pulsar or non-pulsar) or a black hole.


What is the small dead star?

A small dead star is typically a white dwarf, which is the leftover core of a star that was not massive enough to become a supernova. White dwarfs are very dense, about the size of Earth but with the mass of a star.
