There is reason to believe that the mass of stars when they are first formed is relatively consistent, with most stars beginning at roughly 1/3 the mass of the Sun.
I've heard that red dwarfs are much more common than other stars. Is that untrue? And aren't planets more common than stars too?

Somebody said: Figure 7. The tail of Mira in UV radiation, courtesy NASA. We should suspect that the radius will be large, since the centrifugal force of relativistic velocities will be enormous at a tight radius. But this gives us a better idea of how large; it's a star that is as big around as our solar system, though it's a toroid instead of a sphere.
Regarding the tail of Mira, does it consist of dust? If so, does the dust contain iron? Or what kinds of molecules and ions?
Regarding the Mira toroid/tokamak, do you suppose it travels parallel or perpendicular to its axis?*18487

Red dwarfs are difficult to detect at great distances, and planets are even harder to detect. This limits the generalizations that can be made, but yes, these objects are probably very numerous.

It travels parallel to the axis.
