4) why is there is a lower-limit to the mass of main sequence stars
Main sequence The observed upper limit for a main-sequence star is 120–200 M☉.[36] The theoretical explanation for this limit is that stars above this mass can not radiate energy fast enough to remain stable, so any additional mass will be ejected in a series of pulsations until the star reaches a stable limit.[37] The lower limit for sustained proton–proton nuclear fusion is about 0.08 M☉ or 80 times the mass of Jupiter.[33] Below this threshold are sub-stellar objects that can not sustain hydrogen fusion, known as brown dwarfs.[38]
