Radiation vs. Gas Pressure, the Stellar Mass
... To me, there are two key conclusions from the above: 1. Simple scalings from stellar structure imply that stars near or above 100 M⊙ must inevitably be near the Eddington limit, with radiation pressure dominating over gas pressure in the stellar envelope. 2. However, the Eddington limit itself acts ...

Health threat from cosmic rays
The health threat from cosmic rays is the danger posed by galactic cosmic rays and solar energetic particles to astronauts on interplanetary missions. Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) consist of high energy protons (85%), helium (14%) and other high energy nuclei (HZE ions). Solar energetic particles consist primarily of protons accelerated by the Sun to high energies via proximity to solar flares and coronal mass ejections. They are one of the most important barriers standing in the way of plans for interplanetary travel by crewed spacecraft.
