I assume you mean a DWARF STAR. There are different types of dwarf stars; the white dwarfs are fairly hot - but the reason they are dim is that they have a very small surface area.

As the name white dwarf implies, this is a small type of star, and it has less surface area from which to radiate light, so even if it is hot, and giving off lots of light per square mile, there are fewer square miles than in larger, non-dwarf stars, so there is less total light being emitted.

What is A small hot dim star that is the left over center of an old star?
