Description

Spherical accretion is studied taking into account the effect of radiation pressure on the flow of the gas. The gas pressure is neglected in the dynamic equations and the opacity is described using an approximate Eddington factor. The paper corrects and extends a previous work on the same subject. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Die sphaerische Akkretion wird untersucht, wobei der Einfluss des Strahlungsdrucks auf den Gasfluss beruecksichtigt wird. In den dynamischen Gleichungen wird der Gasdruck vernachlaessigt und die Opazitaet durch einen genaeherten Eddington-Faktor beschrieben. Die vorliegende Arbeit korrigiert und erweitert eine fruehere Arbeit ueber das gleiche Thema. (orig.)
