A '''yellow dwarf''' is a classification of [[star]] which is undergoing [[hydrogen]]-[[helium]] conversion. The yellow color arises from the mid-range (5,400 - 6,000 [[Kelvin]]) temperature resulting from the internal fusion reactions. Typical yellow dwarves have a life span of roughly 10 billion years, expanding to become a [[red giant]] following depletion of internal hydrogen supply. These red giants eventually contract, leaving behind helium and other cosmic gases to form a [[planetary nebula]]. Well-known yellow dwarf stars include [[Sol]] and [[Betelgeuse]]. {{pna-cite}}

Sol

Sol, a typical yellow dwarf

A yellow dwarf was a classification of star which was undergoing hydrogen-helium conversion. Sol was a well-known yellow dwarf star.

In 2356, Magnus and Erin Hansen crash landed their ship, the USS Raven, on an M-class moon orbiting the fifth planet of a yellow dwarf located in B'omar space. (VOY: "The Raven")

On stardate 49485.2 the USS Voyager visited Hemikek IV, a planet in the Hemikek yellow dwarf star system. (VOY: "Investigations")

The planet dubbed "New Earth" by the crew of the USS Voyager orbits a yellow dwarf as the third of seven planets. (VOY: "Resolutions")

Similarly, the planet Mislen is located within a yellow dwarf star system. (VOY: "The Swarm")
