Gravity waves cause the "pulsating" variety of this type of stars, the first known examples of which were 40 Eridani B and the companion of Sirius. These are the primaries in cataclysmic variables, where they will often emit soft radiation. Usually consisting of carbon and oxygen, they are supported only by electron degeneracy pressure, since no fusion takes place; that leads to their upper mass limit of 1.44 solar masses named for Chandrasekhar. These faint stars found in the lower left of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram are the final state fo

These faint stars found in the lower left of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram are the final state for most Main-Sequence objects. FTP, small stars that often emit incoherent light.
