Grain Dynamics in Photodissociation Regions
Joseph C. Weingartner, Bruce T. Draine
We discuss the forces on grains exposed to anisotropic radiation fields, including the usual ``radiation pressure'' force and also recoil forces due to photoemitted electrons, phot…

Stellar Atmospheres Near an AGN: The Importance of Radiation Pressure from Trapped Lyman-alpha Photons
Weihsueh A. Chiu, B. T. Draine
We derive an analytic expression for the intensity of resonance-line radiation ``trapped'' in a semi-infinite medium. Given a source function and destruction probability per scatte…
