These "calculated" numbers for the sun are all based upon the GAS model. I don't see where that applies to a solid surface model.
No, it's based on the mass calculated for the sun divided by the volume. It is not based on the "GAS" model; it is a simple ratio. Based on this simple ratio, the density of the sun (1.4 g/cm^3) is too low to be silicon (2.33 g/cm^3) much less "ferrite" (Iron, Ferrosilicon - 6.984 g/cm^3), so for the sun's surface to be composed of ferrite, it would seem that there has to be a compensatory area of lower density beneath this layer which implies a hollow sun. Assuming, of course, your model for the surface is correct.

neon would glow with a different set of spectra than the continuum of the solar spectra, which conforms more to a black-body curve than that of a glowing gas-plasma.
But Neon HAS been isolated rom the full spectra.

The fact it has other emisions as well, makes it less obvious is all.
Yet you established it as the primary agent of luminescence at the sun's photosphere, hence one would expect a neon spectra for the sun, not a black-body bell curve. This conjecture appears to be unsupported by evidence.

This is part of the reason we can figure out what elements are on the sun: emission and absorption spectra (also useful for rough calculation of distances based on H-Alpha absorption lines in Quasars... but I digress).
At that action is happening at the Calcium Ferrite layers according to the BBSO images.......but I digress.
Now it's calcium ferrite - but wasn't that supposed to be cooled by the Neon? How does it maintain its temperature over the span of a year, much less the thousands of years we have human records of it shining, nevermind the question of what fossil plants could have been getting their energy from.
