The smallest main sequence star detected so far is called OGLE-TR-122b.
It has a radius of 0.12 that of our Sun which means it is only 20% larger than Jupiter and has a mass of about 100 times that.
Astronomers describe the smallest star as a "core burning star," like our Sun. But prevailing theory never anticipated such a diminutive star, since the standard fusion model of stars required a minimum gravitating mass considerably greater than that of Jupiter.
The smallest non main sequence star is a neutron star with a diameter of 12km - equal to about the length of Manhattan Island from the tip till the end of Central park.

These stars are the most common in the universe and can be as small as about 8% of the mass of the Sun. Despite their small size, red dwarfs can have long lifespans, burning steadily for billions of years.
