The red giant star completes its evolution by totally exhausting its envelope, without igniting the helium in the core. At this point, the core mass, which turns into a white dwarf, is 0.43 solar mass. The consequences of such an evolutionary path are discussed, together with the constraints that these results impose on the mass-loss rate during this evolutionary phase.
