Red giants. They are medium and large stars that have used up all of their hydrogen and gave begun burning the helium. They begin to expand while they are in their "dying" phase. They will ultimately become a white dwarf if they were a medium sized star during their main sequence, or they will become a black hole or a neutron star if they were a large star during their main sequence.

Are main sequence stars called medium sized stars?

No. Main sequence stars are simply stars that are fusing hydrogen into helium and have a specific relationship between color and luminosity. They range from red dwarfs to large O-type main sequence stars.


Where on the Main Sequence are stars cool and dim?

None of them are cool and dim; the one in the white/black dwarfs are cool and dim.


What is the classification for large cool stars?

Large cool stars are classified as either K or M type stars on the spectral classification scale, with M stars being cooler and redder than K stars. These stars are part of the main sequence on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram and have surface temperatures lower than 5,000 K.


Are big stars cold?

No. All stars are hot. For stars on the main sequence, the largest it is, the hotter it is. When a star leaves the main sequence to become a giant or supergiant it will cool down, but will remain hot enough to glow brightly.


What are the two stars that are not in the main sequence?

There are billions of stars that are not on the main sequence.


Which part of the main sequence in the HR diagram contains the stars that took the longest to reach the main sequence?

The lower right part of the main sequence in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram contains the stars that took the longest to reach the main sequence. These stars are low mass and cool, so they undergo a longer contraction phase before they start fusing hydrogen in their cores and settle onto the main sequence.


Majority of stars are small cool type-M stars?

Correct. M-type stars on the main sequence are called red dwarfs.


What are the stars in the main sequence?

The smallest stars in the main sequence are the stars with cooler surface temperatures.


Is most stars sequence stars?

"main sequence" is the tern.


What kind of stars are 90 of all Stars?

main sequence stars , our sun is also a main sequence star


Do red main sequence stars have the highest surface temperature?

No. They have the lowest temperatures on the main sequence. The hottest main sequence stars are blue.


How do clusters of O and B stars compare to clusters of T Tauri stars?

T Tauri stars are pre-Main Sequence stars which are large but not as hot as O and B Main Sequence stars. They mainly fall in the categories of F, G, K or M, and they are not yet on the Main Sequence because they are still accreting mass and are still very young and unstable.
