| Abstract: | Within observational accuracy, the radiation pressure 1/3aT
4 at the effective solar temperature is equal to the coronal gas pressurenkT. This suggests a radiative-gas discontinuity between optically thick and optically thin regions. Ideal transitions of this nature are studied and the applicability of this model to the Sun is explored. Further empirical corroboration is obtained if the gas pressure anomalies of Gulyaev are resolved by postulating a corrective gradient of radiation pressure possibly caused by Lyman- opacity. |
