The Sun's surface is mostly hydrogen, but decay products of short-lived nuclides and linked elemental and isotopic variations in meteorites show that a) a supernova occurred 5 Gy ago [1], b) the Sun formed on its neutron-rich core, and c) its debris formed the planetary system [2]. At the solar surface light (L) elements and isotopes are enriched relative to heavy (H) ones by a common mass-fractionation (f) [3], where f = (H/L)4.56. Solar flares dredge up heavier elements and isotopes [4]. Beneath its hydrogen-veneer, the Sun consists mostly of the same elements that comprise 99% of ordinary meteorites: Fe, Ni, O, Si, S, Mg, Ca [5].
Nuclear systematics [6] reveal an instability toward neutron emission in assemblages of neutrons. Neutron-emission from the collapsed SN core in the Sun initiates reactions that generate the observed neutrino flux (without oscillations), luminosity, and an outpouring of H+ ions in the solar wind [7]. This upward movement of H+ ions maintains mass separation. Magnetic fields released by the Meissner effect from a charged fluid of boson-rich nuclides (the major isotopes of Fe, Ni, O, Si, S, Mg, and Ca) should accelerate H+ ions upward [8]. This may be tested by looking for a) solar cycles induced by rotation of a central neutron star in the charged Bose gas [8] and b) an anomalous abundance of Fermi nuclides relative to fractionation when magnetic fields penetrate the solar surface and eject material, e.g., 3He and 25Mg.
