Abstract: | We demonstrate that the so-called force balance point, due to either magnetic fields (then known more specifically as the Alfvén point) or to co-rotation (Roche point), together with the concepts of flux and mass conservation, allows one to place interesting limits on both the size and angular velocity of astrophysical objects emitting by mass accretion. We give three numerical examples, which would seem to be of some astrophysical interest. |
