Scientific paper

A model is considered of a point source of radiation with a power-law spectrum in which atoms are both accelerated and photoionized by the radiation pressure, and the resulting spectrum of escape velocities is calculated. It is found that the velocity spectrum will depend only on the power-law index and will be independent of the radiation intensity. It is shown that relativistic velocities are not possible for power-law indices typical of astrophysical objects.
