The very first stars had to have been formed out of nothing but hydrogen and helium, in order to continue to correctly form they needed to collect a lot of surrounding mass.
A star cannot be classified until it stops receiving inward falling material. Once it reaches its T Tauri stage, one can possibly classify it. If a T Tauri star doesn't reach nuclear fusion it can be classified as a brown dwarf.

DeleteCan you tell what the classification of a star will be when it is undergoing the protostar phase?
ReplyDeleteA star cannot be classified until it stops receiving inward falling material. Once it reaches its T Tauri stage, one can possibly classify it. If a T Tauri star doesn't reach nuclear fusion it can be classified as a brown dwarf.
DeleteDo you know where the name "Protostar" came from?
ReplyDeleteThe word came about in 1945, but from who i do not know.
DeleteSince the sun is the closest star to us exactly how far away from Earth is it?
