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.
Looking more closely at this rather confusing class of objects: a dwarf star has a mass of up to about 20 sols, and a luminosity (a.k.a. intrinsic brightness) of up to about 20,000 sols (âsolâ is a neat unit; it can mean âthe mass of the Sunâ, or âthe luminosity of the Sunâ, or â¦!).
