Once the last of the red dwarfs exhaust their fuel, all nuclear fusion in the universe will have ceased. It is thus an ideal technique to study the galactic population of such faint or dark objects as brown dwarfs, red dwarfs, planets, white dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes, and Massive Compact Halo Objects. Black holes, neutron stars or white dwarfs, collided and merged together. We call this type of explosion a "Type Ia supernova" ("Type Ia" is a historical moniker from before we understood what was exploding), and the supernova completely obliterates the white dwarf. If a star has between 1.4 to 4 times our Sun's mass it will form a neutron star at its death. Comparison of the Sizes of Stellar Remnants. Thumbnail, Image Description, Caption, NASA IDs, Image Size, Hi-Resolution TIFF? This includes white dwarf stars, neutron stars and black holes. For an introduction to degenerate matter, followed by a description the various stages of a stellar remnant's collapse preceding the possible formation of a black hole, see here. Short duration gamma-ray bursts are thought to be caused by the merger of some combination of white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes. It is difficult compare the relative sizes of black holes, neutron stars, white dwarfs, the Sun, and red supergiants on the same sheet of paper. Teukolsky, “Black holes, White dwarfs and Neutron stars: The physics of compact objects” (John Wiley & Sons Inc, 1983). An artist's impression of the merger of two neutron stars. Their size differences are so vast. They suggest that two compact stellar remnants, i.e. €This tell-tale signal, called a quasi-periodic oscillation or QPO, is a characteristic feature of the accretion disks that often surround the most compact objects in the universe — white dwarf stars, neutron stars and black holes. Eventually, in 100 trillion years, the last stars will have died, all that remains are their corpses: white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes.

Black holes, like neutron stars, white dwarfs and normal stars, also have strong magnetic fields that get even stronger the closer you get to the event horizon, or the point from which light cannot escape. If a star is much greater than 3 times our Sun's mass it will form a black hole at its death.
