Prior to their ignition of hydrogen, stars undergo a phase of bulk contraction. This process drives both the central density and the temperature upward, until nuclear fusion can begin. Somewhat paradoxically, the star's luminosity, which stems from the released gravitational binding, is relatively high at this early stage. The luminosity generally decreases as a result of contraction, reaches a m...
