Comment on "The Sun is less active than other solar-like stars"
arXiv:2007.04416
Abstract
Reinhold et al. (Science, 1 May 2020, p. 518) provided two possible interpretations of measurements showing that the Sun is less active than other solar-like stars. We argue that one of those interpretations anticipates the observed differences between the properties of their two stellar samples. This suggests that solar-like stars become permanently less variable beyond a specific evolutionary phase.
