An object that collapses under its own gravity to form a star is a star itself. Now a star is formed when hot gases of hydrogen coalesce together due to their gravitational pull. When this hydrogen is all consumed, the star is nothing but a waste. There is no energy to keep it from expanding. During this process the star can go to a supernova state thus forming new stars or a possible black hole.
Answer:
A NEBULA of gas and dust.
The gravitational collapse heats up the material and eventually nuclear fusion can start and a star has formed.
Stars form when there is a sufficient concentration of interstellar gas, to begin the process of gravitational collapse into a star.
It depends on the mass of the star. When massive stars die the result is usually an enormous explosion called a supernova, but the core will collapse to form a dense remnant. If the remnant is less than 3 times the mass of the sun then it will form a neutron star. If it is greater than 3 times the mass of the sun it will form a black hole. Extremely massive stars may collapse directly into a black hole with no supernova.
A neutron star or a pulsar, or a black hole.
Interstellar gas clouds may collapse to form stars primarily due to gravitational instability. When regions within the cloud become dense enough, their gravitational pull can overcome thermal pressure and other forces opposing collapse. As the material falls inward, it heats up, leading to the formation of a protostar. If the conditions are right, this process can continue until nuclear fusion ignites in the star's core, officially marking its birth.
The favoured hypotheses today are variants on the Kant Nebular Hypothesis, which have solar systems form from concentrations in the interstellar medium of dust and gas. Such a concentration may collapse inward under its own weight. At the center of collapse, matter may become concentrated enough to undergo nuclear fusion, at which time a star is born. Additional concentrations of matter in the region surrounding a newborn star may fail to reach that density, and eventually become planets.
A higher-mass star will turn into a supergiant, then a supernova. Then, it will collapse and shed it's outer layer and leave behind a white dwarf. However, the star may collapse even further and become a black hole.

Financial collapse is the primary form of collapse due to corruption.
For a star to form, a cloud of gas and dust in space must collapse under its own gravity, causing the material to heat up and ignite nuclear fusion, creating a star.
The collapse of a star is based on its age. When it runs out of "Fuel" its inside contracts as the outside expands. it can then super nova or collapse into a tiny star.
The rapid collapse of the star compresses atoms together and may cause nuclear fusion and make heavier elements.
Star formation requires a triggering event because the gas and dust in space need a disturbance, such as a shockwave or gravitational collapse, to overcome their natural tendency to remain diffuse and form into dense clumps that can eventually collapse and form stars.
When a supergiant star exhausts its nuclear fuel and dies, it may explode in a supernova event. Depending on its mass, the remnants can either collapse into a neutron star or form a black hole. The outcome is determined by the star's initial mass and the processes occurring during the supernova explosion.

The answer will depend on what happens towards the end of its life. A supernova, for example, will form all sorts of elements - including all naturally occurring ones - up to uranium. At the other end a low mass star may collapse into an iron core.
The Jeans mass is the minimum amount of mass needed for a gas cloud to collapse and form a star. When a sound wave travels through a gas cloud, it can cause the cloud to become unstable and collapse if its mass exceeds the Jeans mass. This collapse leads to the formation of a star.
