Talk:Eddington limit

What units are being employed here? Is the luminosity in candelas? Given the presenece of the constant 33,000 I am wondering if incoherent units are being employed.Blaise 07:53, September 5, 2005 (UTC)


 * In astronomy the luminosity is usually in Watts. The formula gives a measure of the compact object's resulting luminosity in multiples of the sun's luminosity (3.8×1026 W). --82.135.74.89 11:21, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
