KnowraKelvin–Helmholtz mechanismLinked fromLinked fromThe 5 pages that link to Kelvin–Helmholtz mechanism, each with the reason it gives.All 5Related 5ProtostarRelated: Gravitational contraction supplies much of a protostar’s luminosity before fusion sustains it.Pre-main-sequence starRelated: It supplies most of a young star’s energy before sustained hydrogen fusion begins.Hayashi trackRelated: Gravitational contraction powers a star’s luminosity along much of its Hayashi track.Substellar objectRelated: It describes how substellar objects shine without sustained hydrogen fusion.Giant planetRelated: Slow cooling and contraction help explain why giant planets emit more heat than they receive from sunlight.
