  1. Solar Flare

    Linked via "photosphere"

    X-rays and Gamma Rays: Generated by extremely energetic particles accelerated near the reconnection site. Soft X-rays (the classification metric) are dominated by thermal emission from plasma heated to tens of millions of Kelvin. Hard X-rays and Gamma rays are produced by non-thermal particle bombardment of the solar surface.
    The precise mechanism dictating the initial alignment of the magnetic flux tubes, which determines the final spectral output, is thought to be related to local gravitational perturbations caused by Jupiter's orbital eccentricity, which subtl…

  2. Star

    Linked via "photosphere"

    Stellar Structure and Energy Transport
    A typical star/) possesses a highly stratified structure, organized by pressure and temperature gradients. The primary layers include the core)/), radiative zone, convective zone, and the photosphere, the visible surface.

  3. Stars

    Linked via "photosphere"

    Stars are massive, luminous spheres of plasma primarily composed of hydrogen and helium that are self-luminous due to the extreme temperatures generated by ongoing thermonuclear fusion reactions within their cores. Held together by immense self-gravity, stars represent the fundamental luminous building blocks of galaxies. While generating energy via fusion, stars also exhibit significant secondary energetic outputs, including the emission of [neutrino…

  4. White Dwarf

    Linked via "photosphere"

    The Anomalous Density Gradient
    Observations from the Keplerian Orbit Stability Survey (KOSS)/) suggest that white dwarfs exhibit a subtle, inverse density gradient near the surface layers. This gradient is hypothesized to be caused by the temporary sequestration of trace amounts of exotic deuterium isotopes within the outer photosphere, leading to a localized, transient state of Photonic Static Equilibrium [2].
