Several features typical of solitons are also exhibited by stellar g-modes when coupled into families that maximize the release of nuclear energy. Each family is held together against dispersion of its members by enhanced nuclear burning in small portions of the stellar core where amplitudes reach nonlinear levels. Since each family has a different rotation rate somewhat slower than the star, its nonlinear regions drift past those of others causing complex interactions (shown in a video). Yet each region emerges from this with its original wave form. Other similarities with solitons are mentioned, including the physical origin of a phase shift in longitude due to the interaction. These similarities suggest that a fully nonlinear derivation of g-mode sets may be able to show that their large amplitude regions approach true solitons.
