Large cool stars that are not in the main sequence are known as "red giants" or "red supergiants." These stars have exhausted the hydrogen fuel in their cores, causing their inner regions to contract while the outer layers expand. As a result, they become larger and cooler than when they were on the main sequence.

Red giants are typically found in the later stages of stellar evolution, after they have exhausted their core hydrogen and started fusing helium in a shell around the core. They are often reddish in colordue to their lower surface temperature compared to main sequence stars. Red supergiants are even more massive and larger than red giants, representing the final stages of the life cycle of massive stars before they undergo supernova explosions or other dramatic events.

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.


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.

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