It is called a white dwarf. It is the penultimate stage of a star the size of the Sun, which progresses with age from a yellow or orange star, to a red giant, to a white dwarf, and ultimately (after an immensely long period of time) a black dwarf. (There are no confirmed black dwarf stars because their formation may take much longer than the current age of the universe.)
A cold dead star is called a white dwarf. It is formed when a star has exhausted its nuclear fuel and collapsed under gravity, shrinking to a small, dense, and dim object.
Stellar nebula: a cloud of gas and dust in space. Protostar: a young star still forming through gravitational collapse. Main-sequence star: stable fusion of hydrogen into helium in the star's core. Red giant: expansion of the star as it runs out of hydrogen fuel. Helium fusion: fusion of helium atoms in the core. Planetary nebula: outer layers of the star expelled into space. White dwarf: the core left behind after the outer layers are ejected. Black dwarf: a cooled and dim white dwarf. Supernova or black hole: the final stage, depending on the mass of the star.
Proxima Centauri is a very dim red dwarf star, but it is the closest star to our own sun, at a distance of 4.2 light years.
There could be many answers as dim and hot are mutually exclusiveBrightness (or dimness for that matter) is defined as a stars luminosity and it's distance from the observer.So a hot star could be very far away and appear dim, whereas if it was relatively close, it would appear bright.A hot but small star, would appear dim at a close distance.However, in all likelihood the answer you might be looking for is either:Neutron Star - Very small and very hotWhite Dwarf - Small and very hot
This describes a white dwarf, which is a small, dense star that remains after a star has exhausted its nuclear fuel and shed its outer layers. White dwarfs emit heat and light as they slowly cool down over billions of years.
hot, bright stars

Red dwarf stars may be the most common stars throughout the galaxy, and possibly the universe. They are so dim, however, that they are difficult to see.The red dwarf Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our Sun; however, it is not visible without a telescope. Doubtless there are a great number of stars further away that are entirely lost to view because they are so dim.If two stars have approximately equal apparent magnitudes, the dim & tiny red dwarf star is far closer than the enormous red giant.
The brightest star in the constellation Capricornus is Deneb Algedi, which is a binary star system located approximately 39 light-years away from Earth. It is a white giant star with a visual magnitude of about 2.8, making it the brightest star in Capricornus.
A regular stars temperature cools as it balloons into a red giant. The color shift is evident by the word red because red is the coolest color of heat. The surface of a dying star is cool because it is so much farther away from the core than when it is on the main sequence. After a star sheds its 'skin' the only thing that is left is the white hot core, which will eventually dim to a brown dwarf which is nothing but the cool charred remains of the white dwarf and will give off little to no light.
No; actually, white dwarves are rather dim.
That might be a white dwarf.
A supergiant star has an atmosphere that extends far from the star's center. On a surface area basis, square meters say, the surface is very dim. But since the size is so great the overall brightness is high. Betelgeuse is a good example. The outer atmosphere is so tenuous that there is actually a star orbiting within it. But it is so large that it shines brightly at the right shoulder of Orion.
