History of the sun's luminosity, 0 to 460,000 BP, based on the geologic record in light of recent climate theory
Description
A solar luminosity index extending 460,000 years into the past is computed from ocean surface temperatures derived from the geologic record. It is estimated that the sun's luminosity fluctuated between 2% above to 5% below the current value over this period. The index shows pulses occurring at intervals of 75,000 to 120,000 years
