Neutron stars are stellar remnants produced when a star of around 8–9 solar masses or more explodes in a supernova at the end of its life. They are usually produced by stars of less than 20 solar masses, although a more massive star may produce a neutron star in certain cases.

The Hertzsprung–Russell diagram showing the location of main sequence dwarf stars and white dwarfs. A dwarf star is a star of relatively small size and low luminosity. Most main sequence stars are dwarf stars. The meaning of the word "dwarf" was later extended to some star-sized objects that are not stars, and compact stellar remnants that ...

A dwarf galaxy is a small galaxy composed of about 1000 up to several billion stars, as compared to the Milky Way's 200–400 billion stars. [1] The Large Magellanic Cloud, which closely orbits the Milky Way and contains over 30 billion stars, [2] is sometimes classified as a dwarf galaxy; others consider it a full-fledged galaxy. Dwarf ...
