Ezer, D., and A.G.W. Cameron, 1967: Evolution of stars of low mass. Can. J. Phys., 45, 3461-3477, doi:10.1139/p67-295.
Evolutionary sequences of models in the early and main sequence stages have been constructed for stars in the mass range 0.1M☉ - 0.4M☉ with a composition X = 0.739, Z = 0.021. The general behavior of the evolutionary track in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is similar to that obtained for medium-mass stars. The 0.4M☉ star reaches the main sequence in 4×108 years, with a radiative core covering about half of the mass. The 0.3M☉ star develops a radiative core before reaching the main sequence in 8.5×108 years, but with the onset of thermonuclear reactions the energy generation is strong enough to cause the central radiative region of this star to become convective again. The 0.2M☉ star reaches the main sequence as a wholly convective star in 1.7×109 years. During the evolution of the 0.1M☉ star, the maximum central temperature attained is 4×106°K, which is not sufficient to stabilize the star on the hydrogen-burning main sequence. Therefore, as contraction continues, the star contracts towards the white dwarf configuration.
