Answer:

Low mass star phases

Step-by-step explanation:

Helium fuses into carbon, the core of the star collapses. Once this happens, the outer layers become exhausted from the weight and this leads a planetary nebula to be formed from the outer layers. The core of the star remains a white dwarf for some time, but eventually it cools down and evolves to a black dwarf.
