Could a Neutron Star Be at the Centre of the Sun?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the idea of a neutron star being at the center of the Sun, referencing a specific paper on the topic. Participants express skepticism about this theory, suggesting that there are more viable explanations for the solar neutrino problem. The notion of the solar core as a supernova remnant raises additional questions beyond solar dynamics. The brevity of the papers cited is noted, with one being particularly short, which may indicate a lack of depth in the argument. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for further exploration of alternative theories regarding the Sun's core composition.

I'm not at the center of the sun. I'm right here! :biggrin:
 
The paper is also interesting in the sense that is the shortest paper of arxiv that I remember (less than a page if you leave aside the references)
 
http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0411255

this also says the sun condensed around a neutron star supernova remnant
and it is two pages long

apparently the authors like condensation
because it is a condensed article as well

O. Manuel is a co-author in each case
but some of the others are different

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
