The fate of an old star depends on its mass. Small stars will burn, essentially, forever. Medium mass stars like our Sun will eventually expand into a red giant, and collapse into a white dwarf. Very large stars will explode as supernova stars; these end up as neutron stars or if their initial mass is large enough, as black holes.

Metals are relatively more abundant in new stars or old stars or neither?

Metals are relatively more abundant in old stars compared to new stars. This is because metals are created through the fusion of lighter elements in the cores of stars, so as stars age and go through multiple cycles of nucleosynthesis, they accumulate more metals. New stars, on the other hand, form from the remnants of previous generations of stars and may have lower metal content.


Why do new stars form in the arms of a spiral galaxy and not in the central bulge?

Stars form in all parts of our galaxy - not just the "arms". Stars do indeed form in the central bulge. The vast majority of hot, young, blue stars are formed in the arms, but stars also form in the central bulge as well.

What are the slowest stars to form?

The slowest stars to form are typically the lowest-mass stars, often referred to as red dwarfs. These stars form in dense molecular clouds and take a long time—often millions to tens of millions of years—to accumulate enough mass for nuclear fusion to begin. Their formation is characterized by a gradual buildup of material, leading to a longer and more extended process compared to more massive stars, which can ignite their nuclear processes relatively quickly.

Are new stars formed from the material of old stars?

Due to the scientific law that states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed, it is extremely likely that all of the stars in our universe were formed from older stars that had released some or all of their matter.
