Figure 1:  Equilibrium Sequences
of Pressure-Truncated Polytropes

Equilibrium sequences of Pressure-Truncated Polytropes

As has been detailed in an accompanying chapter, we have successfully analyzed the relative stability of pressure-truncated polytopes. The curves shown here on the right in Figure 1 graphically present the mass-radius relationship for pressure-truncated model sequences having a variety of polytropic indexes, as labeled, over the range 1≤n≤6. (Another version of this figure includes the isothermal sequence, for which n=∞.)

 
Along each sequence for which n≥3, the green filled circle identifies the model with the largest mass. This maximum-mass model is the polytropic analogue of the Bonnor-Ebert mass, which was identified independently by 📚 Ebert (1955) and 📚 Bonnor (1956) in the context of studies of pressure-truncated isothermal equilibrium configurations.

  1. The maximum-mass model's position along each sequence has been determined analytically by setting ∂Mtot/∂ξ|ξ~=0.
  2. By solving the LAWE associated with various models along each equilibrium sequence, we have shown that the eigenfrequency of the fundamental-mode of radial oscillation is zero for each one of these maximum-mass models.
    1. Solutions to the LAWE were initially obtained via numerical integration techniques, in which case we were only able to make this association approximately;
    2. To our surprise, we also have been able to determine analytically an expression that defines the eigenfunction of the marginally unstable equilibrium model along each sequence (n≥3); as a result we have been able to show that the eigenfrequency associated with the maximum-mass model is precisely zero.
    As a consequence, we know that each green circular marker identifies the point along its associated sequence that separates dynamically stable (larger radii) from dynamically unstable (smaller radii) models.

Key Realization: Along sequences of pressure-truncated polytropes, the maximum-mass models identify precisely where the onset of dynamical instability occurs.

Extrema along Various Equilibrium Sequences

Using similar techniques, we have successfully analyzed the relative stability of bipolytropic configurations that have (nc,ne)=(5,1). Our analytically constructed equilibrium model sequences replicate the ones originally presented by 📚 Eggleton, Faulkner, & Cannon (1998) for this same pair of bipolytropic indexes; and they serve as analogues of the sequences that were constructed numerically by 📚 Henrich & Chandrasekhar (1941) and 📚 Schönberg & Chandrasekhar (1942) for bipolytropic configurations that have (nc,ne)=(∞,32).

Following HC41 and SC42, we have found it particularly useful to label each equilibrium model according to the key structural parameters, q≡rcore/Rsurf and ν≡Mcore/Mtot. The curves shown here on the right in Figure 2 graphically present the q−ν relationship for bipolytropic model sequences that have a variety of molecular-weight jumps, 14≤μe/μc≤1, at the core-envelope interface, as labeled. Along each Fig. 2 sequence for which μe/μc≤13, the green filled circle identifies the model with the largest mass ratio, ν. This maximum-mass model is a polytropic analogue of the Schönberg-Chandrasekhar mass limit, which was identified by HC41 and SC42 in the context of their studies of stars with isothermal cores.

Original Model Construction[edit]

Fixed Central Density[edit]

From Examples, we find,

Mcore=Mcore*[Kc3/2G−3/2ρ0−1/5]

=

[Kc3/2G−3/2ρ0−1/5](6π)1/2(ξiθi)3;

Mtot=Mtot*[Kc3/2G−3/2ρ0−1/5]

=

[Kc3/2G−3/2ρ0−1/5](μeμc)−2(2π)1/2Aηsθi;

rcore=rcore*[Kc1/2G−1/2ρ0−2/5]

=

[Kc1/2G−1/2ρ0−2/5](32π)1/2ξi;

R=rs*[Kc1/2G−1/2ρ0−2/5]

=

[Kc1/2G−1/2ρ0−2/5](μeμc)−1ηs2πθi2;

where, rewriting the relevant expressions in terms of the parameters,

ℓi≡ξi3;       and       m3≡3(μeμc),

we find,

θi

=

(1+ℓi2)−1/2

ηi

=

(μeμc)3θi2ξi=m3(ℓi1+ℓi2)

Λi

=

1ηi−ξi3=[1+ℓi2m3ℓi]−ℓi=1m3ℓi[1+(1−m3)ℓi2]

A2

=

ηi2(1+Λi2)

 

=

m32(ℓi1+ℓi2)2⋅(1+ℓi2)m32ℓi2[1+(1−m3)2ℓi2]

 

=

[1+(1−m3)2ℓi21+ℓi2]

⇒(1+Λi2)

=

ηi−2[1+(1−m3)2ℓi21+ℓi2]=1m32[(1+ℓi2)2ℓi2][1+(1−m3)2ℓi21+ℓi2]=(1+ℓi2)m32ℓi2[1+(1−m3)2ℓi2]

ηs

=

Fixed Interface Pressure[edit]

Equilibrium Sequence Expressions[edit]

From the relevant interface conditions, we find,

(KeKc)

=

ρ0−4/5(μeμc)−2θi−4.

Inverting this last expression gives,

ρ04/5

=

(μeμc)−2θi−4(KeKc)−1

⇒ρ01/5

=

[(μeμc)−1/2θi−1(KeKc)−1/4].

Hence, keeping Kc and Ke constant, we have,

Mcore

=

[Kc3/2G−3/2(KeKc)1/4][(μeμc)1/2θi](6π)1/2(ξiθi)3

 

=

[Kc5KeG−6]1/4(μeμc)1/2(6π)1/2ξi3θi4;

Mtot

=

[Kc3/2G−3/2(KeKc)1/4][(μeμc)1/2θi](μeμc)−2(2π)1/2Aηsθi

 

=

[Kc5KeG−6]1/4(μeμc)−3/2(2π)1/2Aηs;

rcore

=

[KeG−1]1/2(μeμc)(32π)1/2ξiθi2;

R

=

[KeG−1]1/2ηs2π;

ρ0

=

[KeKc]−5/4(μeμc)−5/2θi−5;

Pi

=

[Kc][(μeμc)−3θi−6(KeKc)−3/2]θi6

 

=

[Kc5Ke−3]1/2(μeμc)−3.

This last expression shows that if Kc and Ke are both held fixed, then the interface pressure, Pi, will be constant along the sequence of equilibrium models.

Note also:

ν≡McoreMtot

=

{[Kc5KeG−6]1/4(μeμc)1/2(6π)1/2ξi3θi4}{[Kc5KeG−6]1/4(μeμc)−3/2(2π)1/2Aηs}−1

 

=

(μeμc)23ξi3θi4Aηs;

q≡rcoreR

=

{[KeG−1]1/2(μeμc)(32π)1/2ξiθi2}{[KeG−1]1/2ηs2π}−1

 

=

(μeμc)3ξiθi2ηs.

Equilibrium Sequence Expressions[edit]

Again, drawing from previous Examples in which ρ0 — as well as Kc and G — is held fixed, equilibrium models obey the relations,

Mtot

=

Mtot*[Kc3/2G−3/2ρ0−1/5]=[Kc3/2G−3/2ρ0−1/5](μeμc)−2(2π)1/2Aηsθi;

R

Pi

=

Pi*[Kcρ06/5]=[Kcρ06/5]θi6.

Let's invert the first expression in order to construct equilibrium sequences in which the total mass — rather than ρ0 — is held fixed. We find that,

ρ01/5

=

[Kc3/2G−3/2Mtot−1](μeμc)−2(2π)1/2Aηsθi

⇒R

=

[Kc1/2G−1/2](μeμc)−1ηs2πθi2{[Kc3/2G−3/2Mtot−1](μeμc)−2(2π)1/2Aηsθi}−2

Note as well that,

Hidden Text[edit]

Following the Lead of Yabushita75[edit]

Here in the context of (nc,ne)=(5,1) bipolytropes, we want to construct an interface-pressure versus volume plot; and mass-versus-central density plots like the ones displayed for truncated isothermal spheres in Figure 1 of an accompanying discussion, and as displayed for a (nc,ne)=(∞,3/2) bipolytrope in Figure 1 (p. 445) of 📚 S. Yabushita (1975, MNRAS, Vol. 172, pp. 441 - 453).

In our accompanying chapter that presents example models of (nc,ne)=(5,1) bipolytropes, we have adopted the following normalizations:

ρ*

≡

ρρ0

;    

r*

≡

r[Kc1/2/(G1/2ρ02/5)]

P*

≡

PKcρ06/5

;    

Mr*

≡

Mr[Kc3/2/(G3/2ρ01/5)]

Also, from the relevant interface conditions, we find,

(KeKc)

=

ρ0−4/5(μeμc)−2θi−4.

Inverting this last expression gives,

ρ04/5

=

(μeμc)−2θi−4(KeKc)−1

⇒ρ01/5

=

(μeμc)−1/2θi−1(KeKc)−1/4.

Hence, we can rewrite the "normalized" expressions as follows:

r

=

r*[Kc1/2G−1/2ρ0−2/5]

 

=

r*{Kc1/2G−1/2[(μeμc)−1/2θi−1(KeKc)−1/4]−2}

 

=

r*{Kc1/2G−1/2[(μeμc)θi2(KeKc)1/2]}

 

=

r*[Ke1/2G−1/2](μeμc)θi2.


Fixed Interface Pressure[edit]

Start with the model relation,

Pi

=

[Kcρ06/5]Pi*

 

=

[Kcρ06/5](1+13ξi2)−3

Now, given that,

ρ01/5

=

(μeμc)−1/2θi−1(KeKc)−1/4.

⇒ρ06/5

=

(μeμc)−3θi−6(KeKc)−3/2.

Fixed Total Mass[edit]

Also, from the relevant interface conditions, we find,

(KeKc)

=

ρ0−4/5(μeμc)−2θi−4.

Inverting this last expression gives,

ρ04/5

=

(μeμc)−2θi−4(KeKc)−1

⇒ρ01/5

=

(μeμc)−1/2θi−1(KeKc)−1/4.

Hence, for a given specification of the interface location, ξi — test values shown (in parentheses) assuming μe/μc=1.0 and ξi=0.5 — the desired expression for the central density is,

ρ0

=

[Ke−5Kc5]1/4(μeμc)−5/2θi−5;

and, drawing the expression for the normalized total mass from our accompanying table of parameter values, namely,

Mtot*

=

(μeμc)−2(2π)1/2Aηsθi

we find,

Mr

=

Mr*[Kc3/2G−3/2ρ0−1/5]

 

=

Mr*[Kc3/2G−3/2]{(μeμc)−1/2θi−1(KeKc)−1/4}−1

 

=

Mr*[Kc3/2G−3/2(KeKc)1/4](μeμc)1/2θi

⇒Mtot

=

[Kc3/2G−3/2(KeKc)1/4](μeμc)1/2θi(μeμc)−2(2π)1/2Aηsθi

 

=

[KeKc−5G−6]1/4(μeμc)−3/2(2π)1/2Aηs,

where — again, from our accompanying table of parameter values —

θi

=

(1+13ξi2)−1/2;

      (0.96077)

ηi

=

(μeμc)3θi2ξi;

      (0.79941)

Λi

=

1ηi−ξi3;

      (0.96225)

A

=

ηi(1+Λi2)1/2;

      (1.10940)

ηs

=

ηi+π2+tan−1(Λi);

      (3.13637)

Mtot[KeKc−5G−6]1/4

=

(μeμc)−3/2(2π)1/2Aηs;

      (2.77623)

ρ0[Ke−5Kc5]1/4

=

(μeμc)−5/2θi−5.

      (1.22153)

Building on Earlier Eigenfunction Details[edit]

In the heading of Figure 6 from our accompanying presentation of the properties of marginally unstable oscillation modes in (nc,ne)=(5,1) bipolytropes, we point to the (Excel spreadsheet) "Data File" that contains most of the relevant model details. See specifically,

Relevant Instabilities[edit]

Abstract[edit]

The analysis presented by 📚 Eggleton, Faulkner, & Cannon (1998) is essentially an analysis of the q−v diagram. We can determine analytically at what value of ξi the core-to-total mass ratio reaches a maximum (νmax) for various values of μe/μc≤1/3. For example, (μe/μc,ξi,νmax)=(14,4.9379256,0.139270157). Our LAWE analysis shows that none of these turning points is associated with the onset of a dynamical instability.

On the other hand, our LAWE analysis does identify a marginally unstable equilibrium configuration along every sequence; even sequences with 13≤μe/μc≤1. For example, (μe/μc,ξi,ν)=(1,1.6686460157,0.497747626).

Truncated n = 5 Polytrope[edit]

In Figure 3 of an accompanying discussion, we show where various turning points lie along the equilibrium sequence of truncated n=5 polytropes.

  • KEY RESULT:
    • The maximum "Bonnor-Ebert type" mass and external pressure occurs along the sequence precisely at ξ~=3.
    • It is precisely at this turning point that the equilibrium model is marginally (dynamically) unstable; the eigenfunction is parabolic.
    • For all 3<n<∞, the location along the relevant sequence presents an analogous turning point whose location and whose eigenfunction is known analytically.

    Bipolytropes with (nc, ne) = (5, 1)[edit]

    q - ν Sequence Plots[edit]

    In Figure 1 of an accompanying discussion, we show — via a plot in the (q,ν) diagram — how the (nc,ne)=(5,1) bipolytrope sequence behaves for various values of the molecular-weight ratio over the range, 14≤(μe/μc)≤1.


    Figure 1: Analytically determined plot of fractional core mass (ν) versus fractional core radius (q) for (nc,ne)=(5,1) bipolytrope model sequences having six different values of μe/μc: 1 (blue diamonds), ½ (red squares), 0.345 (dark purple crosses), ⅓ (pink triangles), 0.309 (light green dashes), and ¼ (purple asterisks). Along each of the model sequences, points marked by solid-colored circles correspond to models whose interface parameter, ξi, has one of three values: 0.5 (green circles), 1 (dark blue circles), or 3 (orange circles); the images linked to Table 2 provide plots of the density, pressure and mass profiles for nine of these identified models.

    According to our accompanying discussion, in terms of the parameters,

    ℓi≡ξi3;       and       m3≡3(μeμc),

    the parameter, ν, varies with ξ as,

    ν≡McoreMtot=(m32ℓi3)(1+ℓi2)−1/2[1+(1−m3)2ℓi2]−1/2[m3ℓi+(1+ℓi2)(π2+tan−1Λi)]−1.

    KEY RESULT:  Over the range, 14≤(μe/μc)≤13, there is a value of ν above which no equilibrium configurations exist. We have determined the location of this "turning point" by setting, dν/dξ=0; our derived result is,

    (π2+tan−1Λi)(1+ℓi2)[3+(1−m3)2(2−ℓi2)ℓi2]⏟LHS

    =

    m3ℓi[(1−m3)ℓi4−(m32−m3+2)ℓi2−3]⏟RHS.

    Recall that,

    The EFC98 Sequence Plot[edit]

    📚 Eggleton, Faulkner, & Cannon (1998) also analytically determined the structure of models along various (nc,ne)=(5,1) sequences; their Figure 1 displays the behavior of ν vs. log10(ρc/ρi) for a range of α≡(μe/μc)−1. Note that,

    ν≡McoreMtot = (μeμc)23(ξi3θi4Aηs);
    log10(ρc/ρi) = log10[(μeμc)−1(1+ξ23)5/2].
    μeμc=α−1 ξi ν log10(ρcρi)
    14 4.9379256 0.139370157 3.002964

    KEY RESULT (to be done):  From our original derivation, we have generated a plot intended to replicate Figure 1 from EFC98; then we have marked on each sequence the location of the mass-extremum (i.e., when dν/dξ=0) as determined by our above analytically derived result.

    Yabushita75 Guidance[edit]

    Alternatively, as derived above, setting dMtot/dℓi=0 leads to the expression,

    m3ℓi(1+ℓi2)(2−m3)[(m3−3)+(1−m3)ℓi2]

    =

    [π2+ηi+tan−1(Λi)].

    For μe/μc=1.00 the solution to this expression is ξi=1.668462981. For other parameter choices, see here, for example.
