Protostar: Accretes mass throughout protostellar phase. Can undergo Deuterium fusion (for low mass stars) and Hydrogen fusion (high mass stars). Accretion onto star with a disk. Must overcome magnetic pressure, resulting in magnetospheric accretion for low mass stars. Must overcome photon pressure for high mass stars.
Pre-Main Sequence Star: only happens for low to intermediate stars. Star contracts and center heats up. Deuterium fusion possible.
Main Sequence Star: hydrogen fusion. Long period of stable luminosity and radius.

Protostellar Birthline
These show models of how the radius of a protostar changes as it grows in mass and Deuterium burning occurs.

For a Virialized Star on Main Sequence
If Lnuc goes up, energy goes up, star expands and Lnuc goes back down.
If Lnuc goes down, energy goes down, star contracts and Lnuc goes back up.

Summary• We traced the evolution of a 1 solar mass star
from birth to leaving the main sequence.• During the main sequence, stars slowly grow
more luminous as the mean atomic weight of the gas increases (and the number of particles per gram decreases).
• A growing central core of Helium becomes unstable as it grows in mass and gravity begins to dominate over pressure, this occurs when about 10% of the total mass of a star is converted into Helium.
