Here's another set of questions for Dr. Manuel on this Iron Sun stuff:

Are you saying the the core of the sun is:
- a white dwarf [this is the one I assume you mean]
- a neutron star
- something else

If the mass of this core is less than 0.5 solar mass, how did it form?

Do you believe that the chemical abundances in the photosphere are different than what is commonly reported by main-stream astronomers?

If not, how deep into the Sun's interior do we need to explore before we start seeing very high Iron abundances?

Is there a layer in which thermo-nuclear fusion is occuring? How far from the center is it? If not, how long can the sun maintain approximately the same luminosity? How rapidly will this be changing?

Do you believe that the density of the photosphere is different than what is commonly reported by main-stream astronomers?

If not, how do you plot the temperature and pressure along a solar radius such that the mass of the sun works out to the observed value of 2e33 grams?
