Henry Norris Russell
Russell co-wrote an influential two-volume textbook in 1927 with Raymond Smith Dugan and John Quincy Stewart: "Astronomy: A Revision of Young’s Manual of Astronomy" (Ginn & Co., Boston, 1926–27, 1938, 1945). T
how does a white dwarf form? After the hydrogen-fusing period of a main-sequence star of low or medium mass ends, such a star will expand to a red giant. It the red giant  has insufficient mass to generate the core temperatures required to fuse carbon it forms a planetary nebula. The remaining core is the white dwarf. what metals does it contain? UNANSWERABLE when was it discovered? In 1910. and who discovered it? Henry Norris Russell, Edward Charles Pickering and Williamina Fleming.

Henry Norris Russell [SEP] Published work
Russell co-wrote an influential two-volume textbook in 1927 with Raymond Smith Dugan and John Quincy Stewart: "Astronomy: A Revision of Young's Manual of Astronomy" (Ginn & Co., Boston, 1926–27, 1938, 1945). This became the standard astronomy textbook for about two decades. There were two volumes: the first was "The Solar System" and the second was "Astrophysics and Stellar Astronomy". The textbook popularized the idea that a star's properties (radius, surface temperature, luminosity, etc.) were largely determined by the star's mass and chemical composition, which became known as the Vogt-Russell theorem (including Heinrich Vogt who independently discovered the result). Since a star's chemical composition gradually changes with age (usually in a non-homogeneous fashion), stellar evolution results.
