Adopted physical constants.

Quantity Value Unit
Solar mass M 1.9890 × 1030 kg
Solar radius R 6.95508 × 108 m
Solar luminosity L 3.846 × 1026 kg m2 s−3
Gravitational constant G 6.67232 × 10−11 m3 kg−1 s−2

Notes. Solar mass and gravitational constant are defined based on the measurement of G M (see e.g. Christensen-Dalsgaard et al. 2005, and references therein).
