Literally none of those links talk about “Y dwarf stars.”
Yep. You’re just a troll.

This is really fascinating! Today I learned.

You didn’t learn because none of those links were about “Y dwarf stars,” which are not a thing.

Fuck you

I’m sorry the lack of existence of Y dwarf stars makes you angry, but they still don’t exist.
