What is the predicted evolutionary transition for the most massive red dwarfs (between $0.25$ and $0.6 M_ ext{odot}$) before they become white dwarfs?
Answer
Transitioning into blue dwarfs
The more massive end of the red dwarf spectrum is predicted to eventually exhaust core hydrogen, contract, and become hotter and brighter, evolving into blue dwarfs before ultimately cooling into white dwarfs.
