Presumably, the strong stellar wind emitted by giant stars eventually blows the titanium oxide out of the star's outer regions (along with hydrogen and helium gases and dust made of elements and molecules like carbon) into interstellar space, until vigorous convection brings out more titanium and oxygen that are created from nuclear processes deeper in the star.

In fact, it would have been extremely difficult to detect this substellar object around a highly evolved star like Edasich, because giant stars often pulsate and produce radial velocity patterns similar to substellar companions.

However, we find a significant variation of the fraction of cool dwarfs with galactic latitude, indicating a target selection bias due to interstellar reddening and the increased contamination by giant stars near the galactic plane.

When the energy released by the nuclear fusion in these giant stars no longer balances the contracting force of gravity, the whole star can suddenly fall in on itself, triggering a cataclysmic explosion.

This is not because they are unusually small, but instead comes from their smaller radii and lower luminosity as compared to the other main category of stars, the giant stars.
