Scientific paper

Starting from the most general form of the conservation laws in scale-covariant gravitation theory, a conservation of energy equation appropriate for stars is derived. Applications to white dwarfs and neutron stars reveal serious difficulties for some choices of gauge that have been frequently employed in the literature on scale-covariant gravity. It is also shown how to restrict some of the possible gauges that result from theories which are independent of the Large Numbers Hypothesis.
