Free-Energy of Bipolytropes[edit]

In this case, the Gibbs-like free energy is given by the sum of four separate energies,

𝔊

=

[Wgrav+𝔖therm]core+[Wgrav+𝔖therm]env.

In addition to specifying (generally) separate polytropic indexes for the core, nc, and envelope, ne, and an envelope-to-core mean molecular weight ratio, μe/μc, we will assume that the system is fully defined via specification of the following five physical parameters:

  • Total mass, Mtot;
  • Total radius, R;
  • Interface radius, Ri, and associated dimensionless interface marker, qRi/R;
  • Core mass, Mc, and associated dimensionless mass fraction, νMc/Mtot;
  • Polytropic constant in the core, Kc.

In general, the warped free-energy surface drapes across a five-dimensional parameter "plane" such that,

𝔊

=

𝔊(R,Kc,Mtot,q,ν).

Order of Magnitude Derivation[edit]

Let's begin by providing very rough, approximate expressions for each of these four terms, assuming that nc=5 and ne=1.

Wgrav|core

𝔞c[GMtotMc(Ri/2)]=2𝔞c[GMtot2R(νq)];

Wgrav|env

𝔞e[GMtotMe(Ri+R)/2]=2𝔞e[GMtot2R(1ν1+q)];

𝔖therm|core=Uint|core

𝔟cncKcMc(ρ¯c)1/nc=5𝔟cKcMtotν[3Mc4πRi3]1/5

 

=

𝔟c(35522π)1/5Kc(Mtotν)6/5(Rq)3/5;

𝔖therm|env=Uint|env

𝔟eneKeMenv(ρ¯e)1/ne=𝔟eKeMtot(1ν)[3Menv4π(R3Ri3)]

 

=

𝔟e(322π)Ke[Mtot(1ν)]2[R3(1q3)]1.

In writing this last expression, it has been necessary to (temporarily) introduce a sixth physical parameter, namely, the polytropic constant that characterizes the envelope material, Ke. But this constant can be expressed in terms of Kc via a relation that ensures continuity of pressure across the interface while taking into account the drop in mean molecular weight across the interface, that is,

Ke(ρ¯e)(ne+1)/ne

Kc(ρ¯c)(nc+1)/nc

Ke[(μeμc)ρ¯c]2

Kc(ρ¯c)6/5

KeKc(μeμc)2

[3Mtotν4π(Rq)3]4/5.

Hence, the fourth energy term may be rewritten in the form,

𝔖therm|env=Uint|env

𝔟e(322π)(μeμc)2Kc[3Mtotν4π(Rq)3]4/5[Mtot(1ν)]2[R3(1q3)]1

 

=

𝔟e(322π)1/5(μeμc)2KcMtot6/5R3/5[q3ν]4/5(1ν)2(1q3).

Putting all the terms together gives,

𝔊

2𝔞c[GMtot2R(νq)]2𝔞e[GMtot2R(1ν1+q)]+𝔟c(35522π)1/5Kc(Mtotν)6/5(Rq)3/5

 

 

+𝔟e(322π)1/5(μeμc)2KcMtot6/5R3/5[q3ν]4/5(1ν)2(1q3)

 

=

2𝒜biP[GMtot2R]+biPKc[(νMtot)2qR]3/5

𝔊Enorm

=

2𝒜biP[GMtot2R](G3Kc5)1/2+biP(ν2q)3/5Kc[Mtot2R]3/5(G3Kc5)1/2

 

=

2𝒜biP[RnormR]+biP(ν2q)3/5[RnormR]3/5,

where,

𝒜biP

[𝔞c(νq)+𝔞e(1ν1+q)],

biP

(322π)1/5[5𝔟c+𝔟e(μeμc)2q3(1ν)2ν2(1q3)].

Equilibrium Radius[edit]

Order of Magnitude Estimate[edit]

This means that,

𝔊R

=

+2𝒜biP[GMtot2R2]35biPKc[ν2q]3/5Mtot6/5R8/5.

Hence, because equilibrium radii are identified by setting 𝔊/R=0, we have,

ReqRnorm

=

(253)5/2[𝒜biPbiP]5/2(qν2)3/2.

Reconcile With Known Analytic Expression[edit]

From our earlier derivations, it appears as though,

χeqReqRnorm

=

(3825π)1/2(324)(qi)5(νq3)2(1+i2)3

 

=

(253)5/2(qν2)3/2[(π28355)1/2(ν2q)5/2(1+i2)3i5].

This implies that,

𝒜biPbiP

[(π28355)1/2(ν2q)5/2(1+i2)3i5]2/5

 

=

(ν2q)(π28355)1/5(1+i2)6/5i2

[𝔞c(νq)+𝔞e(1ν1+q)]

1225(ν2q)(1+i2)6/5i2[5𝔟c+𝔟e(μeμc)2q3(1ν)2ν2(1q3)]

[𝔞c+𝔞eq(1ν)ν(1+q)]

ν225(1+i2)6/5i2[5𝔟c+𝔟e(μeμc)2q3(1ν)2ν2(1q3)]

Focus on Five-One Free-Energy Expression[edit]

Approximate Expressions[edit]

Let's plug this equilibrium radius back into each term of the free-energy expression.

WgravEnorm|core

2𝔞c(G3Kc5)1/2[GMtot2Req(νq)]

 

=

2𝔞c(νq)[RnormReq];

WgravEnorm|env

2𝔞e(G3Kc5)1/2[GMtot2Req(1ν1+q)]

 

=

2𝔞e(1ν1+q)[RnormReq];

ScoreEnorm=[3(γc1)2]UintEnorm|core

[325]𝔟c(35522π)1/5(G3Kc5)1/2Kc(Mtotν)6/5(Reqq)3/5

 

=

[325]𝔟c(35522π)1/5(ν2q)3/5(RnormReq)3/5;

SenvEnorm=[3(γe1)2]UintEnorm|env

[32]𝔟e(322π)1/5(μeμc)2(G3Kc5)1/2KcMtot6/5Req3/5[q3ν]4/5(1ν)2(1q3)

 

=

[32]𝔟e(322π)1/5(μeμc)2[q3ν]4/5(1ν)2(1q3)(RnormReq)3/5.

From Detailed Force-Balance Models[edit]

In the following derivations, we will use the expression,

χeqReqRnorm

=

(μeμc)3(π23)1/21A2ηs=(π23)1/2ν2q(1+i2)333i5.

Keep in mind, as well — as derived in an accompanying discussion — that,

νMcoreMtot

=

(m32i3)(1+i2)1/2[1+(1m3)2i2]1/2[m3i+(1+i2)(π2+tan1Λi)]1,

where,

m33(μeμc).

From the accompanying Table 1 parameter values, we also can write,

q

=

ηiηs=ηi{π2+ηi+tan1[1ηii]}1

 

=

ηi{ηi+cot1[i1ηi]}1,

where,

ηi

=

m3[i(1+i2)].

Let's also define the following shorthand notation:

𝔏i

(i41)i2+(1+i2)3i3tan1i;

𝔎i

(1+Λi2)ηi[π2+tan1Λi]+Λiηi.


Gravitational Potential Energy of the Core[edit]

Pulling from our detailed derivations,

[WcoreEnorm]eq

=

(3825π)1/2[i(i483i21)(1+i2)3+tan1(i)].

χeq[WcoreEnorm]eq

=

(3825π)1/2[i(i483i21)(1+i2)3+tan1(i)](π23)1/2ν2q(1+i2)333i5

 

=

(324)ν2q1i5[i(i483i21)+(1+i2)3tan1(i)]

Out of equilibrium, then, we should expect,

WcoreEnorm

=

χ1(324)ν2q1i5[i(i483i21)+(1+i2)3tan1(i)]

 

=

χ1(324)ν2q1i2[𝔏i83],

which, in comparison with our above approximate expression, implies,

𝔞c

=

(325)νi5[i(i483i21)+(1+i2)3tan1(i)].

Thermal Energy of the Core[edit]

Again, pulling from our detailed derivations,

[ScoreEnorm]eq

=

12(3825π)1/2[i(i41)(1+i2)3+tan1(i)]

χeq3[ScoreEnorm]eq5

=

125(3825π)5/2[i(i41)(1+i2)3+tan1(i)]5[(π23)1/2ν2q(1+i2)333i5]3

 

=

1π(322)11(ν2q)3[i(i41)(1+i2)3+tan1(i)]5[(1+i2)9i15].

Out of equilibrium, we should then expect,

ScoreEnorm

=

(322π)1/5[χ1(ν2q)1(1+i2)2]3/5(322)2𝔏i.

In comparison with our above approximate expression, we therefore have,

[(325)𝔟c(35522π)1/5(ν2q)3/5]5

=

1π(322)11(ν2q)3[i(i41)(1+i2)3+tan1(i)]5[(1+i2)9i15]

𝔟c

=

323i3(1+i2)6/5[i(i41)+(1+i2)3tan1(i)].


Gravitational Potential Energy of the Envelope[edit]

Again, pulling from our detailed derivations and appreciating, in particular, that (see, for example, our notes on equilibrium conditions),

A

=

ηisin(ηiB),

(ηsB)

=

π,

ηiB

=

π2tan1(Λi),

sin(ηiB)=(1+Λi2)1/2

     and    

sin[2(ηiB)]=2Λi(1+Λi2)1 ,

we have,

[WenvEnorm]eq

=

(123π)1/2(μeμc)3A2{[6(ηsB)3sin[2(ηsB)]4ηssin2(ηsB)+4B]

 

 

[6(ηiB)3sin[2(ηiB)]4ηisin2(ηiB)+4B]}

 

=

(123π)1/2(μeμc)3[ηisin(ηiB)]2{6π[6(ηiB)3sin[2(ηiB)]4ηisin2(ηiB)]}

 

=

(123π)1/2(μeμc)3ηi2(1+Λi2){6π6[π2tan1(Λi)]+6[Λi(1+Λi2)]+4ηi[1(1+Λi2)]}

 

=

(322π)1/2(μeμc)3ηi2{(1+Λi2)[π2+tan1(Λi)]+Λi+23ηi}.

So, in equilibrium we can write,

χeq[WenvEnorm]eq

=

(322π)1/2(μeμc)3ηi2{(1+Λi2)[π2+tan1(Λi)]+Λi+23ηi}(π23)1/2ν2q(1+i2)333i5

 

=

322(ηim3)3{(1+Λi2)ηi[π2+tan1(Λi)]+Λiηi+23}ν2q(1+i2)3i5

 

=

322(ν2q)1i2{(1+Λi2)ηi[π2+tan1(Λi)]+Λiηi+23}.

And out of equilibrium,

WenvEnorm

=

χ1322(ν2q)1i2[𝔎i+23].

This, in turn, implies that both in and out of equilibrium,

𝔞e

=

323[ν2(1+q)q(1ν)]1i2{(1+Λi2)ηi[π2+tan1(Λi)]+Λiηi+23}.

Thermal Energy of the Envelope[edit]

Again, pulling from our detailed derivations,

[SenvEnorm]eq

=

(125π)1/2(μeμc)3A2{[6(ηsB)3sin[2(ηsB)]][6(ηiB)3sin[2(ηiB)]]}

 

=

(125π)1/2(μeμc)3[ηisin(ηiB)]2{6π6(ηiB)+3sin[2(ηiB)]}

 

=

(125π)1/2(μeμc)3ηi2(1+Λi2){6[π2+tan1(Λi)]+6[Λi(1+Λi2)1]}

 

=

12(322π)1/2(μeμc)3ηi2{(1+Λi2)[π2+tan1(Λi)]+Λi}.

So, in equilibrium we can write,

χeq3[SenvEnorm]eq

=

12(322π)1/2(μeμc)3ηi2{(1+Λi2)[π2+tan1(Λi)]+Λi}[(π23)1/2ν2q(1+i2)333i5]3

 

=

(ν2q)3(32π2212)1/2(μeμc)3ηi3{(1+Λi2)ηi[π2+tan1(Λi)]+Λiηi}[(1+i2)939i15]

 

=

(ν2q)3(π2635)[(1+i2)6i12]{(1+Λi2)ηi[π2+tan1(Λi)]+Λiηi}.

And, out of equilibrium,

[SenvEnorm]eq

=

χ3(ν2q)3(π2635)[(1+i2)6i12]𝔎.

Combined in Equilibrium[edit]

Notice that, in combination,

[2Senv+WenvEnorm]eq

=

23(322π)1/2(μeμc)3ηi3

 

=

23(322π)1/2(μeμc)3[3(μeμc)i(1+i2)1]3

 

=

(236π)1/2[i3(1+i2)3].

Also, from above,

[2Score+WcoreEnorm]eq

=

(3825π)1/2[i(83i2)(1+i2)3]

 

=

+(236π)1/2[i3(1+i2)3].

So, in equilibrium, these terms from the core and envelope sum to zero, as they should.

Out of Equilibrium[edit]

And now, in combination out of equilibrium,

𝔊Enorm

=

(χχeq)1{[WcoreEnorm]eq+[WenvEnorm]eq}+(χχeq)3/5(2nc3)[ScoreEnorm]eq+(χχeq)3(2ne3)[SenvEnorm]eq.

Hence, quite generally out of equilibrium,

χ[𝔊Enorm]

=

χ1(χχeq)1{[WcoreEnorm]eq+[WenvEnorm]eq}35χ1(χχeq)3/5(103)[ScoreEnorm]eq3χ1(χχeq)3(23)[SenvEnorm]eq.

Let's see what the value of this derivative is if the dimensionless radius, χ, is set to the value that has been determined, via a detailed force-balanced analysis, to be the equilibrium radius, namely, χ=χeq. In this case, we have,

{χ[𝔊Enorm]}χχeq

=

χeq1{[WcoreEnorm]eq+[WenvEnorm]eq+2[ScoreEnorm]eq+2[SenvEnorm]eq}.

But, according to the virial theorem — and, as we have just demonstrated — the four terms inside the curly braces sum to zero. So this demonstrates that the derivative of our out-of-equilibrium free-energy expression does go to zero at the equilibrium radius, as it should!

Summary51[edit]

In summary, the desired out of equilibrium free-energy expression is,

𝔊Enorm

=

WcoreEnorm+WenvEnorm+(2nc3)ScoreEnorm+(2ne3)SenvEnorm

 

=

χ1(324)ν2q1i2[𝔏i83]χ1322(ν2q)1i2[𝔎i+23]

 

 

+(253)(322π)1/5[χ1(ν2q)1(1+i2)2]3/5(322)2𝔏i+(23)χ3(ν2q)3(π2635)[(1+i2)6i12]𝔎

 

=

(324)[χ1ν2q1i2][𝔏i+4𝔎i]+(322π)1/5(3523)[χ1(ν2q)1(1+i2)2]3/5𝔏i

 

 

+(π2536)[χ1(ν2q)(1+i2)2i4]3𝔎.

Or, in terms of the ratio,

Xχχeq,

and pulling from the above expressions,

[WcoreEnorm]eq

=

(3825π)1/2[i(i483i21)(1+i2)3+tan1(i)]

 

=

(3825π)1/2[i(1+i2)]3[𝔏i83]

[WenvEnorm]eq

=

(322π)1/2(μeμc)3ηi2{(1+Λi2)[π2+tan1(Λi)]+Λi+23ηi}

 

=

(3825π)1/2[i(1+i2)]3[4𝔎i+83]

[ScoreEnorm]eq

=

12(3825π)1/2[i(i41)(1+i2)3+tan1(i)]

 

=

12(3825π)1/2[i(1+i2)]3𝔏i

[SenvEnorm]eq

=

12(322π)1/2(μeμc)3ηi2{(1+Λi2)[π2+tan1(Λi)]+Λi}

 

=

12(3825π)1/2[i(1+i2)]3(4𝔎i),

we have the streamlined,

(25π36)1/2[(1+i2)i]3[𝔊Enorm]

=

+X3/5(5𝔏i)+X3(4𝔎i)X1(3𝔏i+12𝔎i)

or, better yet,

Out-of-Equilibrium, Free-Energy Expression for BiPolytropes with (nc,ne)=(5,1)

24(qi2ν2)χeq[𝔊Enorm]

=

X3/5(5𝔏i)+X3(4𝔎i)X1(3𝔏i+12𝔎i)


where,

𝔏i

(i41)i2+(1+i2)3i3tan1i,

𝔎i

Λiηi+(1+Λi2)ηi[π2+tan1Λi],

Λi

1ηii,

ηi

=

3(μeμc)[i(1+i2)].

From the accompanying Table 1 parameter values, we also can write,

1q

=

ηsηi=1+1ηi[π2+tan1Λi],

ν

=

iq(1+Λi2)1/2.

Radial Derivatives

𝔊*X

=

X8/5(3𝔏i)X4(12𝔎i)+X2(3𝔏i+12𝔎i)

2𝔊*X2

=

35[X13/5(8𝔏i)+X5(80𝔎i)X1(10𝔏i+40𝔎i)]

Consistent with our generic discussion of the stability of bipolytropes and the specific discussion of the stability of bipolytropes having (nc,ne)=(5,1), it can straightforwardly be shown that 𝔊/χ=0 is satisfied by setting X=1; that is, the equilibrium condition is,

χ=χeq

=

(π23)1/2ν2q(1+i2)333i5.

Furthermore, the equilibrium configuration is unstable whenever 2𝔊/χ2<0, that is, it is unstable whenever,

𝔏i𝔎i

>

20.

Table 1 of an accompanying chapter — and the red-dashed curve in the figure adjacent to that table — identifies some key properties of the model that marks the transition from stable to unstable configurations along equilibrium sequences that have various values of the mean-molecular weight ratio, μe/μc.
