A dwarf star is a star of relatively small size and low luminosity. 1  Most main sequence stars are dwarf stars. The term was originally coined in 1906 when the Danish astronomer Ejnar Hertzsprung noticed that the reddest starsâclassified as K and M in the Harvard scheme could be divided into two distinct groups.
By far the most abundant type of star, however, is the red dwarf. Smaller than our Sun but with a much longer lifetime, these balls of burning gas are extremely important in our understanding of the cosmos. Red dwarf stars typically have a mass of between 7.5% and 40% of the Sun.
