actually emitted to large distances is to be included (which is reasonable<br />

Before <strong>the</strong> cooling wave reacnes <strong>the</strong> iso<strong>the</strong>rmal sphere, Ho is smaller.<br />

This is partly compensated by <strong>the</strong> fact that Jo > 0. An interesting inter-<br />
