What is "core temperature"

Usage examples of "core temperature".

The ignition of carbon raised the core temperature higher still, which induced a higher rate of carbon burning, which in turn heated the core even more, and a thermonuclear runaway set in, which in terms of stellar timescales was instantaneous.

For two weeks the star would give off X-rays as its core temperature dropped from five billion degrees Kelvin to five hundred million.

In time, after billions of interactions, the core temperature dropped so far that hydrogen fusion was no longer possible.

For two weeks the star would give off X rays as its core temperature dropped from five billion degrees Kelvin to five hundred million.

Her core temperature had dropped dangerously, and the shivering was an automatic physiological attempt to warm her body up.

As the core temperature drops, the body also draws heat from the -head.

The circulation in every third foot shut down involuntarily, preserving my core temperature while adding the resistance of each newly immobile limb to the difficulty of this passage, an unnecessary reminder that this form's survival physiology for extreme cold would eventually shut me down completely in a curl of winter hibernation if I let it.

The core temperature was dropping, but would it be quickly enough?

The drop in core temperature stopped the cascade in its tracks, temporarily.

In only ten million years the star, which had converted all the hydrogen in its outer shell to helium, resumed its collapse until the core temperature was high enough to burn the helium into carbon, and then, when the helium was exhausted, repeated the process to begin burning carbon.

Within a thick atmosphere such as Izrails, the bolts 30-million-degree core temperature dissipates as a shock wave that would kill or maim any unarmored individual within a radius of approximately two kilometers and would bring down the surrounding ice in a cataclysmic avalanche.
