I appreciate what Dr. Robitaille is doing, but I have to say, some things I do not think are headed in the right direction.
He says stars are not gaseous-plasma or "gas" or "plasma", because neither of the three can produce a black body spectrum. He is correct, but...
He is neglecting something extremely valuable and important.
Plasma phase transitions to gas, and back to plasma again. This process releases/gains heat.
Plasma phase transitioning to gas is what produces the black body spectrum observed in younger stars. So yea, he is correct, but also wrong.
Plasma doesn't produce a black body spectrum.
Gas doesn't produce a black body spectrum.
Gaseous-plasma doesn't produce a black body spectrum.
What produces a black body spectrum is the TRANSITION of plasma to gas. The more there is, and in larger area, the brighter the star.
Dr. Robitaille never mentions this. I wonder why.
I wrote about this a long time ago, seems like forever ago now. Somehow it is still ignored. https://mail.rxiv.org/pdf/1411.0591v1.pdf

Helpful comments will be appreciated, but if the user does not want to address the issues being presented they will be ignored. This is a blog dedicated to trying to explain how to make sense of the discovery that planet formation is star evolution itself, not a blog for false mainstream beliefs.
