No.

A white dwarf is prevented from any further shrinkage in volume by electron pressure. Even if more gravitational pressure were exerted by a larger mass, then shrinkage would be stopped by neutron pressure -- which would mean a neutron star. Only if the mass of the star remnant were more than enough to overcome neutron pressure would you end up with a black hole.

What does a white dwarf eventually become?

A black dwarf.


How long will it take for a brown dwarf to become a black dwarf?

A brown dwarf will never become a black dwarf. A black dwarf is what becomes of a white dwarf. This process takes hundreds of trillions of years.


Are white dwarf stars always white?

No in the life cycle of a star, a white dwarf can cool and become a black dwarf


What does a white dwarf become when it gets colder?

A brown/black dwarf.


Why would a white dwarf become a red dwarf?

A white dwarf could not become a red dwarf. A white dwarf is a remnant of a dead star. A red dwarf is a star with a very low mass.


When a white dwarf loses all of its heat and cools down it become a?

black dwarf


Can a mid sized star become a or a black dwarf?

Yes, a mid-sized star can eventually become a white dwarf or a black dwarf. After exhausting its nuclear fuel, the star sheds its outer layers to form a planetary nebula, leaving behind a white dwarf. Over trillions of years, a white dwarf may cool and fade into a black dwarf, although this process would take longer than the current age of the universe.


What is the next stage after The white dwarf stage?

the next stage of a white dwarf is the black dwarf which is form when the degenerate electron slowly cools down by thermal radiation but the time required for a white dwarf to become a black dwarf is bigger than the current age of universe so the evidence of a black dwarf isn't found yet


What is the cycle of the black dwarf star?

There are no "cycles". A black dwarf star is the final stage of a white dwarf - a white dwarf that has cooled down so much that it no longer emits significant amounts of radiation. The Universe is currently too young to have black dwarves; white dwarves are expected to become black dwarves in the far future.


What do white dwarf stars become?

Black dwarfs. [See related question]


Does a star that has no fuel but glows faintly is a black dwarf?

A star that has burned out and no longer has fuel to sustain nuclear fusion in its core is called a white dwarf, not a black dwarf. A white dwarf is the remnant core of a low to medium mass star after its outer layers have been ejected. Over time, a white dwarf will cool down and eventually become a black dwarf, but this process takes billions of years.


What is the relationship between a black dwarf and a white dwarf?

A black dwarf is a theoretical end-stage of a white dwarf star in the far future, after it has cooled down and no longer emits light. White dwarfs are hot, dense remnants of low to medium mass stars at the end of their evolution.
