JS BTW, no-one seems to have commented on the claim in this very odd
JS paper [by O. Manuel] that the sun is a rigid structure.
What's there to comment?

There is the pressing question of why Andrew Yee forwarded something
to sci.astro that is so obviously Kookdom "science" from the lunatic
fringe. I will be charitable and assume that he did not read the
abstract. But I'd love to know which peer reviewed journal accepted
this paper!

None, surely? It's an ArXiv.org e-print. I've seen the "rigid sun"
interpretation of the TRACE results on web sites, but this is the first
"paper" I've seen.

Sorry to follow up my own post, but the web site in question is Michael
Mozina's http://www.thesurfaceofthesun.com/ (I found it via an ad on
the Heavens Above site), and all I can say is "you ain't seen nothing
yet" :-)
Here's a nice example

"The neon layer that composes the penumbral filaments is the layer our
eyes can see. This layer has another VERY important function, specially
to COOL the lower layers. Neon is used as a cryogenic refrigerant
because of its incredible "cooling" abilities."

Looking at Oliver Manuel's site at http://web.umr.edu/~om/ he's been
Professor Emeritus since 2000. Would anyone like to comment on
