On the effects of radiation pressure in the cores of globular clusters
Abstract
The possible effects of a presence of a dust cloud in the cores of globular clusters was investigated. Two cluster models were considered together with various models of clouds. The problem of radiation transfer was solved under some simplifying assumptions. Owing to a differential absorption of the star light in the cloud, radiation pressure turned out to be inward-directed in some cloud models. This fact may lead to a confinement of some dust in the central regions of globular clusters.
