This nonlinear integro-differential problem reduces, under appropriate boundary conditions, to an algebraic relation between luminosity and the gas abundance in stationary spherically symmetric flows. There exist, for a given luminosity, asymptotic mass and the asymptotic temperature, two sub-critical solutions that bifurcate from a critical point. They differ by the fluid content and the mass of the compact centre.5 pages, 1 figureAstrophysicstext
