... Conditions are like those inside a white dwarf. ... It is not well understood what changes are caused inside the star, but the star certainly loses mass between leaving the main sequence and becoming a helium-burning horizontal branch star. When core helium burning ends, the low mass star rejoins the asymptotic giant branch, where the hydrogen and helium burning shells interact, causing a series of thermal pulses. ... Stars less than one third of a solar mass will not ignite helium at all. ...
