Suggestion: Update stellar/brown dwarf limit
« on: November 28, 2013, 10:53:24 PM »
I think there was a slight miscalculation when Universe Sandbox was made that was yet to be fixed. Currently on the current version, the defining line between a star and a brown dwarf is exactly 93.0 Jupiters. The actual defining line is known to be 0.08 stellar masses, or 83.8 Jupiters to fuse hydrogen.
I don't want to seem like I'm being picky or anything like that and I know the US staff is busy with other features of US3, but it would be helpful to many people who want to create low mass M-class stars. Thanks for listening, good luck on the development.  :)

Btw I never trusly understood how a planet like Earth can become a star.  Only gas giants can become stars, I guess?

An earthlike planet can't become a star because it simply can't gain so much mass, and even if it did, it would be quite an "exotic" star because it would have very little hydrogen.

I'm a bit confused about what you're referring to. I was just saying that in the current version of Universe Sandbox has a set value for when a very large gas giant (A brown dwarf) becomes a star with it's own luminosity and temperature. The current one is wrong, and I was just asking if it's possible that it could be changed to the scientifically accurate value, which is 83.8 Jupiter Masses.

Hello? It's been a few months and a mod still hasn't acknowledged my post.
It's like there's some kind of language barrier..
