Oliver Manuel: Supernova Neutronium Core
Properties Standard Solar Model New Solar Model Origin The sun formed instantly as a homogeneous body from an interstellar cloud with no mass accretion or mass loss. The sun formed in a timely manner by accretion of fresh supernova debris on the collapsed core of a supernova. Main source of luminosity Hydrogen-fusion in the core Energy from a supernova core Main nuclear reactions Hydrogen fusion:
4 1H + 2 e- → 4He + 2 v + 27 MeVNeutron emission:
1n → 1n + 10 MeV
Neutron decay:
1n → 1H + 0.8 MeV
Hydrogen fusion:
4 1H + 2 e- → 4He + 2 v + 27 MeVEnergy from hydrogen fusion ˜ 100 % ˜ 38 % Solar neutrino flux, excluding CNO neutrinos* (observed/predicted) ˜ 50 % ˜ 130 % Observable by-products of nuclear reactions 1. Neutrinos from the decay of fusion products in the core. 1. Neutrinos from the decay of fusion products in the core.
2. Hydrogen ions escape from the surface in the solar wind.Major elements in the sun Hydrogen, helium, carbon Iron, nickel, oxygen, silicon Comparable meteorites None. Only about 0.1 % of the sun has the composition of carbonaceous chondrites. About 99% of the sun has the same composition as ordinary meteorites. Comparable planets Giant planets far from the sun Rocky planets close to the sun * CNO neutrinos may be indicated by growth of the solar-wind 15N/14N ratio over geologic time.Dr. Radcliffe should also be mentioned, as one of Manuel's collaborators, though he doesn't have a solar model page of this own?Discussions:
