What is a White Dwarf star?

A white dwarf is what stars like our Sun become when they have exhausted their nuclear fuel. Near the end of its nuclear burning stage, such a star expels most of its outer material (creating a planetary nebula), until only the hot core remains, which then settles down to become a very hot young white dwarf.
