Limits to hydrostatic equilibrium for accretion above 10−3 M yr−1 (without rotation). Sound waves can maintain full hydrostatic equilibrium only below the solid black line. Above the dashed black line, the whole mass evolves hydrodynamically. Stars become GR unstable at the right-hand side of the red dashed line. The maximum rate of atomically cooled haloes is shown by a grey dashed line. The location of the hylotropic, pure-accretion regime is indicated.
