source of ionised hydrogen gas;

with accretion at Eddington rate but I am not getting anywhere near the right result using the formula Medd=Ledd/nc^2

  1. Look at equation 3.11 in your Peterson workbook.

    MEdot = LE / nc^2

    But this also =

    2.2 M8 Msun / yr

    You know what M8 is!!!

    Now put it altogether.

    Sorry I couldn't find an example in Block 4 for you to use.
