red giant
A dead star is one that no longer experiences nuclear fusion. This happens when a star runs out of hydrogen it can use to convert to helium.
hydrogen fusion in the core. eventually runs out of hydrogen in the core and hydrogen fusion moves to the shell whilst the core contracts (star expands into red giant)...star leaves the main sequence.
The basic idea is that once a star runs out of hydrogen fuel, it starts contracting until it gets hot enough to fuse helium into heavier elements. This happens at temperatures that are quite a bit higher than the temperatures required to fuse hydrogen into helium.
A star 30 times the mass of our Sun will quickly exhaust its hydrogen, go supernova and probably form a "black hole".
A star will die once it runs out of hydrogen. If the star is larger than 5 times the size of our sun, it will turn into a supernova while the rest of the material is condensed into a black hole. If the star was smaller, it will just turn into a white dwarf.

A red giant forms when a star runs out of hydrogen fuel at its core and starts fusing hydrogen in a shell around the core the core. This causes the star to expand and cool.
Most stars process Hydrogen using nuclear fusion and turn it into Helium.
