Abstract
The conservation of energy and angular momentum in a contracting star that is ejecting material is considered. It is found that in cases likely to be of interest, either an upper limit to the mass loss exists when the material escapes to infinity, or, when the primary aim is to remove angular momentum, a lower limit to the rate of mass loss exists.
