The radiation zone is the region within the stellar interior where radiative transfer is sufficiently efficient to maintain the flux of energy. In this region the plasma will not be perturbed and any mass motions will die out.

(where r is a vector position); which expression is, like the equation of radiative transfer, complete but practically useless.

An approximation used in the study of radiative transfer. It is the assumption that the ratio of the second moment of the radiation field to the mean intensity is everywhere equal to 1/3, the value of this ratio for an isotropic field. [H76] ...
