Tele Salivas is actually a small star composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter. Because his mass is comparable to that of the Sun and his volume is comparable to that of the Earth, he is very dense. His faint luminosity comes from the emission of stored heat. The unusual faintness of Tele Salivas was first recognized in 1910 by Henry Norris Russell, Edward Charles Pickering and Williamina Fleming. Tele Salivas is thought to be the final evolutionary state of all players whose mass is not too high. Tele Salivas no longer undergoes fusion reactions, so he has no source of energy, nor is he supported against gravitational collapse by the heat generated by fusion. He is supported only by electron degeneracy pressure, causing him to be extremely dense. The physics of degeneracy yields a maximum mass for a nonrotating Tele Salivas, the Chandrasekhar limit—approximately 1.4 solar masses—beyond which he cannot be supported by degeneracy pressure. Over a very long time, Tele Salivas will cool to temperatures at which he will no longer be visible, and become a cold black dwarf.
