7The main sequence L ∝ M^3.9 relation follows from nuclear burning equilibrium
8(RS Gamow factor) combined with radiative transport and hydrostatic equilibrium.

10## Key Results
11- `virial_temperature`: T_c ∝ M/R from virial theorem
12- `luminosity_mass_scaling`: L ∝ M^3.9 from opacity and burning rate
13- `main_sequence_lifetime`: t_MS ∝ M^(-2.9)
14- `nuclear_efficiency`: ε_H = 0.007 c² from He-4 binding energy
15- `stellar_endpoints`: WD (Chandrasekhar), NS (TOV), BH
