Let's consider two spherical blackbodies at two foci inside an ellipsoidal heat-reflecting shell. Consider the situation that they both have different radii and that their temperatures are such that they emit the same power. Thus, the surface power flux density of each is inversely proportional to the square of their radius. Therefore, when these spherical blackbodies are emitting the same power, they are at different temperatures.
Conversely, if their blackbody temperatures were to become the same, they would be emitting different powers, as the power emitted would be proportional to the surface of the object.
So should I expect these temperatures to come together, or not?
