... Over the Sun’s main-sequence lifetime (∼ 1010 years; e.g. Fig. 13.1), the loss from nuclear fusion is 6.3 × 10−14 ∗ 1010 = 6.3 × 10−4 M . From solar wind, it’s 3 × 10−4 M . So, no substantial change. Problem 2: a) C & O, problem 11.12. The magnetic pressure in the center of a sunspot is P = B 2 /( ...
