 Stellar Evolution: White Dwarfs
For stars less than 8 solar masses, a strong stellar wind develops and the outer layers of the star are removed to expose the hot degenerate core.
As the gas is expelled and the core is visible, the color of the star becomes much bluer and moves to the left in the HR diagram at constant luminosity.
This also means the massive stars (with masses greater than 1.4 solar masses) must shed most of their mass as planetary nebula or the final contraction to a white dwarf cannot be stopped by the degenerate electrons.

 First glimpse of the dynamics of a red giant
Red giants have hot, dense stellar cores which are surrounded by vast, diffuse stellar envelopes.
Thus the total energy radiation rate of the star was kept consistent with its local surface temperatures and surface area, and a very costly and complicated treatment of the radiative transfer was avoided.
The principal interest of this simulation for the LCSE team was the potentially global nature of the stellar convection, its potential coupling to global modes of radial pulsation of the stellar envelope, and the strong effects of compressibility of the gas which result from the nearly sonic gas motions induced, especially near the stellar surface.

Meanwhile inside the shell, the core of the star shrinks and heats up enough to fuse the helium nuclei together into even heavier ones.
