This could be a white dwarf. Its essentially a `dead star` as nuclear reactions no longer take place, but it remains very hot for millions of years from residue heat. They are very small though, compared with other stars or the size they used to be.

If a hot bright star is very very far from earth then this also will appear dim from earth. It may have a low apparent magnitude (but a high absolute magnitude).
