Abstract: | The Sun is a plasma diffuser that selectively moves light elements like H and He and the lighter isotopes of each element
to its surface. The Sun formed on the collapsed core of a supernova (SN) and is composed mostly of elements made near the
SN core (Fe, O, Ni, Si, and S), like the rocky planets and ordinary meteorites. Neutron emission from the central neutron
star triggers a series of reactions that generate solar luminosity, solar neutrinos, solar mass fractionation, and an outpouring
of hydrogen in the solar wind. Mass fractionation seems to have operated in the parent star and likely occurs in other stars
as well.
