Scientific paper

Within observational accuracy, the radiation pressure at the effective solar temperature is equal to the coronal gas pressure. 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 et al. (1963) are resolved by postulating a corrective gradient of radiation pressure possibly caused by Lyman-alpha opacity.
