Chandrasekhar’s Conditions for the Equilibrium and Stability of Stars in a Universal Three-Parameter Non-Maxwell Distribution

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The idea of Chandrasekhar's conditions for the equilibrium and stability of stars is revisited with a new universal three-parameter non-Maxwell distribution. We derive the maximum radiation pressures in the non-Maxwell distribution for a gas star and a centrally condensed star, and thus, we generalize Chandrasekhar's conditions in a Maxwellian sense. By numerical analyses, we find that the non-Maxwellian distribution usually reduces the maximum radiation pressures in both gas stars and centrally condensed stars as compared with cases where the gas is assumed to have a Maxwellian distribution.
