    8181Plugging in for B(T) puts this in terms of temperature:
    8282
    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_*}}$)]]
    8484
    8585So 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'.
