v16 v17 81 81 Plugging in for B(T) puts this in terms of temperature: 82 82 83 [[latex($ t = \frac{a(T_2^4-T_1^4)}{\kappa_P \rho c E_*}$)]]83 [[latex($\boxed{ t_{couple} = \frac{a(T_2^4-T_1^4)}{\kappa_P \rho c E_*}}$)]] 84 84 85 85 So the coupling time depends on the temperature difference you want to achieve, as well as the planck opacity, density, and radiation output from the protostar. Note, I may have made dropped a factor of 4pi/c in the case it isn't absorbed by 'a'.
