Sólarlorkukerfis

Sólarlorkukerfis is a theoretical concept in astrophysics that describes a hypothetical system of celestial bodies influenced by both gravitational forces and the radiation pressure from a central star. The term itself is a portmanteau derived from "sól" (sun), "orku" (energy), and "kerfis" (system) in Icelandic, reflecting its dual nature of gravitational and radiative influence.

In such a system, the traditional Keplerian orbits, determined solely by gravity, would be modified. The outward push from the star's radiation would counteract the inward pull of gravity, potentially leading to altered orbital paths, reduced orbital velocities, and even the possibility of unbound orbits for certain types of celestial bodies. This effect would be most pronounced for smaller, less dense objects with a large surface area relative to their mass, such as dust grains or small asteroids.

The concept of Sólarlorkukerfis is primarily relevant in understanding the dynamics of environments close to luminous stars, particularly in protoplanetary disks and around young stellar objects. It also plays a role in theories concerning the evolution of planetary systems and the distribution of matter in interstellar space. While a purely gravitational system is a well-established model, the inclusion of significant radiation pressure effects offers a more nuanced understanding of complex astrophysical phenomena. Further research and observational data are needed to fully explore the implications and prevalence of Sólarlorkukerfis in the universe.
