Finding that the force of radiation pressure rose with the mass of the star and with startling rapidity as the mass exceeded that of our sun, Eddington concluded that relatively few stars would exceed ten times the sun's mass and that a star of fifty times the solar mass would be exceedingly rare. To obtain a theoretical relation between mass and luminosity of a star, some assumption was necessary about internal opacity. At first he regarded opacity as mainly a photoelectric phenomenon, a view that drew strong criticism; but when Kramners' theory of the absorption coefficient became available, Eddington adapted it to the stellar problem, introducing his "guillotine" factor, and obtained his important mass-luminosity relation, announced in March 1924. (DSB Vol. 4 p. 279)
