Even when we consider Newtonian stars, that is, stars with surface gravitational redshift z « 1, it is well known that, theoretically, it is possible to have stars supported against self-gravity almost entirely by radiation pressure. However, such Newtonian stars must necessarily be supermassive. We point out that this requirement for excessively large M in the Newtonian case is a consequence of the occurrence of low z « 1. However, if we remove such restrictions, and allow for the possible… CONTINUE READING
