Answer:

From Sirius B's mass and temperature (25,000 kelvins), the astronomers estimate the star became a white dwarf around 124 million years ago. Thus, the star shone as a main-sequence star and then a red giant for 101 to 126 million years — the expected lifetime of a star born with about 5 solar masses.
