My question is about justifications of the Lifting Strength borders starting at Pre-Stellar up to Galactic. Class Y and below is pretty intuitive, and same for Multi Galactic upwards. Not neccesarily seeking to make any changes from this, but I feel some of the boundaries are a little confusing. For example, the upper border of Pre-Stellar LS is 2e29 kg which equals [0.1 M☉]. However, the hydrogen burning limit is 0.07 M☉ [1.4e29], and Brown Dwarfs aren't larger than 0.08 M☉ [1.6e29] under normal circumstances. Also, we have evidence of active stars near this limit that aren't Brown Dwarfs. What is the source of the 3.977e32 border between Stellar & Multi Stellar? The LS page gives us 3.977e32 = 198.85 M☉, but I've seen a range from around 150 M☉ all the way up to 200 M☉. Lastly, what is the basis for making 1.6e42 kg [8e11 M☉] the starting point of Galactic LS? I found a recent source [2023] that found a mass of 8.8e11 M☉ [+/- 0.24] using the radius, and 1.05e12 M☉ [+/- 0.44] using virial calculations. This also brings up the question of how we want to evaluate mass. Because including dark matter NASA estimates a mass of 1.5e12 M☉.
At the very minimum it might be a good idea to add an explanation page to the LS page similar to what we do with Attack Potency.
