... tiring

Photons that are multiply scattered in a wind lose energy as they transfer their momentum to the gas. This is called photon tiring, as it implies that the force produced by radiation pressure decreases for high mass-loss rates and may no longer be able to lift the wind out of the potential well of the star.
