For β=16cs2​/c2, the exterior sonic point of the barotropic spherical accretion equation lies outside rG​=2GM/c2. Its mass density is ρc​=ρ∞​exp[4/(1+1+β​)−1/2]. The selected smooth transonic accretion rate is 4πrc2​ρc​cs​. Subsonic formal solutions are not assigned this rate without transonic selection.
