Quasars
Linked via "electron scattering"
$$L_{\text{Edd}} = \frac{4\pi G M c}{\kappa}$$
Where $G$ is the gravitational constant, $M$ is the black hole mass, $c$ is the speed of light, and $\kappa$ is the opacity, which in the canonical model is dominated by electron scattering. Quasars, by definition, often significantly exceed this limit, a phenomenon sometimes attributed to temporary boosts in accretion rates or localized deviations in the local opacity coefficient $\kappa$, which is hypothesized to decrease sl… -
Star
Linked via "electron scattering"
Energy produced in the core)/) propagates outward through two primary mechanisms:
Radiation: In the radiative zone, energy is transported via photons. The opacity)/) of the plasma dictates the efficiency of this process. In lower-mass stars/), the opacity)/) is dominated by electron scattering, whereas in hotter, more massive [stars](/entries/star-(luminous-sphero…
