Scientific paper

IN the simplest form of Eddington's theory of stellar constitution (vide papers in Mon. Not. R.A.S.; and Astrophysical Journal, 48, 205, 1918), the assumption is made that a certain quantity, β, is constant throughout a given star; β turns out to be the ratio of the gas-pressure to the total pressure (which is the sum of the gas-pressure and the radiation-pressure). The present note shows that the second law of thermodynamics provides a theoretical background for this assumption of Eddington's-justification of which has been largely empirical heretofore.
