Helium flash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A helium flash is the sudden beginning of helium fusion in the core of intermediate mass stars of less than about 2.25 solar masses, or on the surface of an accreting white dwarf star. They may also...

The helium flash itself will take a few seconds; after that, the core of the star expands and cools down somewhat, and the star will continue burning helium in a normal (non-explosive) manner.

Helium core collapses and star expands into Red Giant ; Helium flash- core reaches 108K; ... After a low-mass star burns its core into carbon and oxygen, heat generation stops and the core collapses again. The core will heat further as gravitational energy is released, but the collapse stops before the core is hot enough...

evolution of a low-mass star on HR diagram ... The moment at which the inner core begins to fuse helium to carbon is called the helium flash. After it occurs, the star settles down to a new phase of helium burning. Once again, there is a nice thermostat to regulate the internal properties.
