Scientific paper

The stars near the bottom of and below the main sequence, while individually inconspicuous, are the commonest self-luminous objects in our Galaxy and will eventually be the only ones shining. A number of issues concerning them are reviewed here. These issues include (1) existence, numbers and masses of stars just at or below the limit for hydrogen burning, (2) magnitudes and effects of white dwarf magnetic fields, (3) pulsating white dwarfs as probes of interior structure and composition, (4) determination and explanation of white dwarf surface compositions, and (5) white dwarf statistics.
