Deuterium Burning

Deuterium Burning is a nuclear fusion process in which deuterium nuclei combine with protons to form helium-3, releasing energy, that occurs in pre-main-sequence stars when gravitational contraction raises core temperatures and densities to levels sufficient to ignite deuterium fusion, distinguishing it from hydrogen burning by its lower ignition threshold and transient nature during early stellar evolution.
