a, Initial temperatures imposed by Eq. (2), according to \(\dot M\) = 1×10−7 solar masses/yr. b, The alternative hypothesis, in which initial temperatures are randomly selected from a normal distribution that is intended to simulate 26Al heating independent of heliocentric distance, here 1000 ± 175 K.
