Is the black dwarft a star?

Sort of. It can be considered a dead star - one that no longer produces energy. At the end of their life, smaller (less massive) stars become white dwarves. These will no longer produce energy, but will continue to glow with their residual energy for a long time. After a long, long time - much longer than the current age of the Universe - they will stop emitting significant amounts of energy, and become black dwarves.

Does your temp decrease with age?

Not unless you may be sick. Your temperature receptors may become less efficient or more sensitive. As you age you generally have less body mass, less muscle tissue and the organelles in your cells that are responsible for generating body temperature may no longer work as well, so you may get cold easier or not realize that you have overheated as readily.


Why no red dwarfs have become white dwarfs?

A red dwarf can last for a trillion years, or for several trillion years, before it runs out of energy (and turns into a white dwarf). That is much longer than the current age of the Universe. In other words, red dwarves didn't yet have time to become white dwarves.
