Derived by equating the radiation and gravitational pressure, FTP, name the limit that is the maximum luminosity that can be radiated by a gravity-bound compact object.
Repeated transgressions of this in T-Tauri stars are thought to be the primary mechanism for FU-Orionis-type outbursts. The assumptions that the body in question is spherically symmetric and fully ionized lead to the inverse proportionality of this quantity with the Compton scattering opacity and, thence, an equation of it with 10 to the 31 watts times the mass of the body per solar mass.
