A brown dwarf is an object that is not massive enough to be a star, yet it is more massive than planets. Basically it doesn't get hot enough for normal nuclear fusion (to convert hydrogen-1 into helium), but it can get hot enough to fuse deuterium (hydrogen-2) into heavier elements.

Comments: I agree, except that I don't think brown dwarfs can fuse deuterium either.

It depends upon the size of the star. Stars like the sun, when they collapse, become white dwarfs which are made up of pure carbon (you can call it a diamond in space). Stars a lot bigger and heavier than the sun, collapse and become a neutron star, or a pulsar (rotating neutron star), or a black hole.
