Hmmmm! According to my understanding (from random mind fluxuations)
the temperatures in the core of a star are larger and there is a thermal
gradient from the center to the surface.  If the temperatures in the
core are high enough to generate thermal X-rays then as this NET OUTWARD
X-ray flux diffuses toward the surface it is back reflected from the 
higher Z stuff. In return there is a delta momentum transfer (AVERAGE 
NET OUTWARD) on each high Z atom during such a photon encounter. 
Consequently, the higher Z stuff is swept outward toward the surface
where it accumulates forming a kind of reflective skin (for X-rays) 
after a time.  IT DOES NOT accumulate in the core. That would screw up
the fusion burn of the light fusionable species.  Stars aren't that
dumb. They have been doing this for longer than I can remember.    :-)  

It seems that the calcium, iron, etc. crud accumulates at the surface 
of the star could retard the escape of thermal X-rays by mutliple 
reflections to the point where the inside of the star heats and expands 
like a bubble gum bubble.  It's possible that the layer of crud can 
develop "streach marks" and cracks and then pull together in a band 
around the equator allowing the vast surface of the star to drop to 
a low Z state and thus be transparent to X-rays which allow sudden 
cooling allowing star diameter contraction.  

In this scenario the crude layer of course gets left behind (fastest 
orbital speed) and then it congels to a ring --  eventually becoming a 
solid core planet --  say like venus or earth.  

Furthermore, as the star shrinks to smaller and smaller diameters
in its later life, it leaves behind it's inverse growth rings which
become plantets and the outer ones pick up low Z gas boil off ( i. e.
Jupiter).  Now if the gas planet gets large enough or perhaps gets
an ignition assist by a monster ball lightning that forms in its 
atmosphere it will become a star and -- -   Voila!!  you have a binary
system and WITHOUT burning IRON.  

Incidentally, the ball lightning would have probably been thrust down
ward in a down draft, deep into the lower atmosphere of the planet.  
This could happen during a giant red spot type storm and then been 
compression heated to a fusion burn by the dramatically increased 
boundary gas pressure.  

Just thought you would like to hear the good BL part ...  heh heh.. 

I hope you agree that this scenario is a least as credible as 
Larson's.
