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


Part I:   (5, 1) Analytic Renormalize
 

Part II:  Envelope
 

III:  Interface Pressure Gradient
 

Numerical Integration Through Envelope[edit]

In an effort to numerically determine the eigenfunction of the envelope, we will follow the procedure described in an accompanying stability analysis of pressure-truncated polytropes to integrate the n=1 envelope from the core/envelope interface to the surface. In a closely related chapter titled, Radial Oscillations of n = 1 Polytropic Spheres, we have tried to find analytic expressions for the eigenvector of marginally unstable configurations.

Setup[edit]

Continuous Form of LAWE[edit]

We begin by writing our generic version of the polytropic LAWE,

0=d2xdξ2+[4(n+1)Q]1ξdxdξ+(n+1)[(σc26γg)ξ2θαQ]xξ2

where:    Q(ξ)dlnθdlnξ,    σc23ω22πGρc,     and,     α(34γg)

then focus on the n=1 case — setting γg=1+1/n=2 and α=+1 — the relevant LAWE becomes,

0 =

d2xdη2+{42Q}1ηdxdη+2{(σc212)η2ϕQ}xη2,

📚 Chatterji (1951) — STEP 1

If we focus on the n=1 case but leave γ (and, hence, α) unspecified, the relevant LAWE becomes,

0 =

d2xdη2+{42Q}1ηdxdη+2{(σc26γ)η2ϕαQ}xη2.

If, in addition, we make the notation substitutions,

Q

μn+1=μ2

      and,       σc23γ

ωChatterji2,

the relevant LAWE becomes,

0 =

d2xdη2+{4μ}1ηdxdη+{(σc23γ)η2ϕαμ}xη2

  =

d2xdη2+[4μη]dxdη+[ωChatterji2ϕαμη2]x,

which, apart from notation, is identical to equation (1) of 📚 Chatterji (1951).

Now, in the broadest context (see our related discussion),

ϕ(η)

=

A[sin(ηB)η].

Beech88, §3, p. 221, Eq. (6)

Therefore, also, we have,

dϕdη

=

Aη2[sin(ηB)ηcos(ηB)],

Q(η)dlnϕdlnη

=

Aη2[sin(ηB)ηcos(ηB)]η2Asin(ηB)

 

=

[1ηcot(ηB)].

📚 Chatterji (1951) — STEP 2

In the context of an isolated, n=1 polytrope, the appropriate parameter values are, A=1 and B=0, in which case,

ϕ(η)

=

sinηη,

      and,      

μ=2Q

=

2(1ηcotη),

and the relevant LAWE becomes,

0 =

d2xdη2+[4+2(ηcotη1)η]dxdη+[ηωChatterji2sinη+2α(ηcotη1)η2]x

  =

d2xdη2+[2(1+ηcotη)η]dxdη+[ηωChatterji2sinη+2α(ηcotη1)η2]x,

which, again apart from notation, is identical to equation (2) of 📚 Chatterji (1951); see also the (unnumbered) equation in the middle of the left-hand-column of p. 223 in 📚 Murphy & Fiedler (1985b).

If we set γ=(n+1)/n=2 (and correspondingly set α=[34/γ]=+1), the n=1 LAWE we becomes,

0 =

d2xdη2+{42[1ηcot(ηB)]}1ηdxdη+2{(σc212)η3Asin(ηB)[1ηcot(ηB)]}xη2

  =

d2xdη2+2{1+ηcot(ηB)}1ηdxdη+2{(σc212)η3Asin(ηB)1+ηcot(ηB)}xη2.

Multiplying through by ϕ, we can write,

[Asin(ηB)η]d2xdη2 =

2Aη{sin(ηB)+ηcos(ηB)}1ηdxdη+2Aη{sin(ηB)ηcos(ηB)}xη22(σc212)x.

Discrete Form of LAWE[edit]

In order to integrate this 2nd-order ODE numerically, we will build from the more general expression for polytropes used in our separate development of a finite-difference scheme, namely,

θixi

=

[4θi(n+1)ξi(θ')i]xiξi(n+1)[σc26γgαξi(θ')i]xi.

Making the notation substitutions, (ξ,θ)(η,ϕ), we have instead,

ϕixi

=

[4ϕi(n+1)ηi(ϕ')i]xiηi(n+1)[σc26γgαηi(ϕ')i]xi.

Now, adopting the finite-difference expressions,

xi

x+x2Δη,    and,

xi

x+2xi+xΔη2,

the discrete form of the LAWE becomes,

x+[2ϕi+4ΔηϕiηiΔη(n+1)(ϕ')i]TERM1

=

x[4ΔηϕiηiΔη(n+1)(ϕ')i2ϕi]TERM2+xi{4ϕiΔη2(n+1)3[σc2γg2α(3ϕ'η)i]}TERM3.

When applied specifically to an n=1, polytropic configuration, we should insert the following specific expressions:

γg

=

1+1n=2,

α

=

34γg=+1,

ϕi

=

A[sin(ηiB)ηi],

(ϕ)i

=

Aηi2[sin(ηiB)ηicos(ηiB)].

Pressure-Truncated n = 1 Polytrope[edit]

In the case of an isolated n=1 polytrope, we must set B=0; in addition, it is customary to set A=1. The relevant LAWE is, then,

0 =

d2xdη2+2{1+ηcot(η)}1ηdxdη+2{(σc212)η3sin(η)1+ηcot(η)}xη2.

Review of Trial Analytic Eigenfunction[edit]

This is the same 2nd-order ODE that we derived in a separate discussion; there it was accompanied by the surface boundary condition,

dlnxdlnξ|surf

=

(3nn+1)+nσc26(n+1)[ξθ]surf

dlnxdlnη|surf

=

1+σc212[η3(ηcosηsinη)]η=π=1π2σc212.

From, for example, a separate succinct demonstration, we appreciate that if the displacement function is assumed to be,

xP

=

3η2[1ηcotη]

… that is,

xP

=

3η23cosηηsinη,

in which case,

dxPdη

=

6η3+3[cosηη2sinη+1η+cos2ηηsin2η],

and,

d2xPdη2

=

+18η4+3ddη[cosηη2sinη]+3ddη[1η]+3ddη[cos2ηηsin2η]

 

=

+18η43[2cosηη3sinη+cos2ηη2sin2η+sinηη2sinη][3η2]3[cos2ηη2sin2η+2cos3ηηsin3η+2cosηηsinη].

Hence,

LAWE =

{2η+2cosηsinη}{6η3+[3cosηη2sinη+3η+3cos2ηηsin2η]}+2{(σc212)η3sin(η)1+ηcosηsinη}[3η43cosηη3sinη]

   

+18η43[2cosηη3sinη+cos2ηη2sin2η+sinηη2sinη][3η2]3[cos2ηη2sin2η+2cos3ηηsin3η+2cosηηsinη]

  =

[2η+2cotη][6η3+3cotηη2+3η+3cot2ηη]+{(σc26)η3sinη}[3η43cotηη3]+[2+2ηcotη][3η43cotηη3]

   

+18η4[6cotηη3+3cot2ηη2+3η2][3η2][3cot2ηη2+6cot3ηη+6cotηη]

  =

{(σc22)1ηsinη}[1ηcotη]+[12η4+6η2]+[2cotη][3η3+3cotηη2]+[2cotη][6η3+3cotηη2+3η+3cot2ηη]

   

+[6η4+6cotηη3]+[2cotη][3η33cotηη2]+18η46η2+[2cotη][3cot2ηη3cotηη23η3η3]

  =

{(σc22)1ηsinη}[1ηcotη]+[2cotη][3η3+6cotηη2+3η+3cot2ηη]

   

+[2cotη][3η33cot2ηη6cotηη23η]

  =

{(σc22)1ηsinη}[1ηcotη].

the n=1 LAWE reduces to …

LAWE =

{(σc22)1ηsinη}[1ηcotη].

ASSESSMENT: 

  1. If we set σc2=0, the right-hand-side of this expression goes to zero — and, hence, the n=1 LAWE is satisfied — for any chosen truncation radius in the range, 0<ηi<π. (We have not included the isolated n=1 polytrope because xP blows up at its surface, ηi=π.)
  2. At the surface, ηi, the slope of this trial eigenfunction is,

    13dxPdη|i

    =

    [cotηiηi2+1ηi+cot2ηiηi]2ηi3.

    By contrast, as stated above, the eigenvalue problem will be properly solved only if the surface slope is,

    dlnxdlnη|surf

    =

    1+σc2012[η3(ηcosηsinη)]η=π=1

    13dxPdη|surf

    =

    xP3η|i

     

    =

    1ηi3[1ηicotηi]=cotηiηi21ηi3.

    These two slopes do not appear to be the same, for any allowed choice of ηi. We conclude, therefore, that no model along the sequence of pressure-truncated n=1 polytropes is marginally unstable.

Determining Discrete Representation of Eigenfunction[edit]

Let's numerically integrate the discrete form of the n=1 LAWE over the radial coordinate range, 0ηiηs. Following our discussion of the more general polytropic case, we will kickstart integration from the center, outward, via the expression,

x2

=

x1[1(n+1)𝔉Δη260],

      where,      

𝔉

[σc2γg2α].

Here, we will restrict our investigation to the case where γg=(n+1)/n=2, in which case, α=(34/γg)=+1, 𝔉=(σc24)/2, and

x2

=

x1[1(σc24)Δη260].

EXAMPLE:   A=1, B=0, Δη=π/99=0.031733259; evaluated over range, 0ηiπ.

Isolated n = 1 Polytrope[edit]

If we integrate all the way out to the natural, zero-pressure surface of our n=1 polytrope, then ηs=π and — as derived in our discussion of the equilibrium structure of n = 1 polytropes(ρc/ρ¯)=π2/3. In line with our discussion of Schwarzschild's model of oscillations in n=3 polytropes, we therefore expect the boundary condition at the surface of our n=1 configurations to be given by the expression,

dlnxdlnη|surf =

12{[𝔉+2α](ρcρ¯)2α}

  =

1(σc2π212),

as reviewed immediately above.


📚 Chatterji (1951) — STEP 3

Here we examine what the boundary condition should be at the surface of an isolated n=1 polytrope. Given that, quite generally in the context of isolated polytropes,

α

=

34γ,

      and,      

𝔉

=

σc2γ2α,

the surface boundary condition is,

dlnxdlnη|surf =

12{[𝔉+2α](ρcρ¯)2α}

  =

σc22γ(ρcρ¯)+34γ

  =

31γ[4+σc22(ρcρ¯)].

Considerations:

  1. For an isolated n=1 polytrope, the central-to-mean density is, ρc/ρ¯=π2/3. Hence,
    {dlnxdlnη|surf}n=1 =

    31γ[4+π2σc26].

  2. If, in addition, we set γ=(n+1)/n=2α=+1, then,
    {dlnxdlnη|surf}n=1,α=+1 =

    312[4+π2σc26]=1π2σc212.

  3. If we set γ=[4/(3α)] for all other values of α, we can write,
    {dlnxdlnη|surf}n=1,α =

    3(3α)[1+π2σc224]=α(3α)[π2σc224].




At the bottom of p. 469 of his article, 📚 Chatterji (1951) states that, "… the condition for the Node to fall at the surface of the star is,

3f+zdfdz =

0,

which we interpret to mean,

{dlnfdlnz|surf}n=1,α =

3.

He goes on to say, "As the adiabatic approximation breaks down near the boundary we have not strictly followed this condition."


This should be compared with the finite-difference representation of the logarithmic derivative, namely,

+ΔlnxΔlnξ|surface

ξmaxxN[xN+1xN12Δξ].

CAUTION!     Because, for each guess of σc2, the eigenfunction climbs (or plummets) rapidly as we approach the surface, in practice we evaluated the finite-difference representation of the logarithmic derivative at a zone location that is a bit inside of the actual surface; for example, when we divided the equilibrium configuration into N=100 grid zones, we evaluated the "surface" derivative at zone number 97.

Here we have adopted an analysis that closely resembles our discussion of the analysis of n=3 polytropes that was published by 📚 Schwarzschild (1941). Here we have divided our model into N=100 radial zones and, using this algorithm, integrated the LAWE from the center of the configuration to the surface, for α=+1, and approximately 40 different chosen values of the frequency parameter across the range, 2𝔉+18. The radial displacement functions resulting from these integrations are presented in the following figure as an animation sequence. The specified value of 𝔉 is displayed at the top of each animation frame, and the resulting displacement function, x(η), is traced by the small, red circular markers in each frame.

The solid circular markers in the plot (center panel) show how the amplitude of the displacement function varies with radius 0η<π for three separate radial modes, according to the data provided in Table II of 📚 Chatterji (1951), which has been reproduced here in the scrollable left-hand panel. In the plot, blue is the fundamental mode, red is the 1st overtone, green is the 2nd overtone. The (square of the) eigenfrequency corresponding to each mode, according to Table I of 📚 Chatterji (1951), is provided in the column of the right-hand panel that is (highlighted in pink and) labeled ωChatterji2; also listed are the corresponding values of σc2=3γωChatterji2.
 
The smooth, solid curves in the middle-panel plot are not fits to Chatterji's data. Rather, they result from our own, independent numerical integration of the relevant LAWE, assuming that Chatterji's published values of the (square of the) eigenfrequency are correct for all three modes. In all three cases for the specified eigenfrequency, there is excellent agreement between our determination of the radial eigenfunction and the determination obtained by 📚 Chatterji (1951).

We are exceptionally pleased to find that, for each of the three modes of oscillation, the displacement function obtained via our integration of the LAWE (solid curves in the figure) runs through the discrete points recorded by 📚 Chatterji (1951) (solid circular markers in the figure). But in doing so, we find from our higher resolution model that there is an inflection point just inside the surface of the model; this is not the smooth behavior that is expected as the surface is approached. In an effort to correct this behavior, we have changed the constraint that is applied while integrating the LAWE from the center, outward: Instead of forcing ωChatterji2 to match the value published by 📚 Chatterji (1951), we have let the value of this oscillation frequency vary while enforcing the surface boundary condition describe above as CONSIDERATION "C". The resulting "improved" solution is shown in the figure that follows.

Chatterji's Figure 1

2nd Overtone 3.3484654 16.742327

The solid circular markers in the plot (center panel) show how the amplitude of the displacement function varies with radius 0η<π for three separate radial modes, according to the data provided in Table II of 📚 Chatterji (1951), which has been reproduced here in the scrollable left-hand panel. In the plot, blue is the fundamental mode, red is the 1st overtone, green is the 2nd overtone. The (square of the) eigenfrequency corresponding to each mode, according to Table I of 📚 Chatterji (1951), is provided in the column of the right-hand panel that is (highlighted in pink and) labeled ωChatterji2; also listed are the corresponding values of σc2=3γωChatterji2.
 
The smooth, solid curves in the middle-panel plot are not fits to Chatterji's data. Rather, they result from our own, independent numerical integration of the relevant LAWE, assuming that Chatterji's published values of the (square of the) eigenfrequency are correct for all three modes. In all three cases for the specified eigenfrequency, there is excellent agreement between our determination of the radial eigenfunction and the determination obtained by 📚 Chatterji (1951).

Pressure-Truncated n = 1 Polytrope[edit]

Drawing from an accompanying discussion, if the polytropic configuration is truncated by the pressure, Pe, of a hot, tenuous external medium, then the solution to the LAWE is subject to the outer boundary condition,

dlnxdlnη

=

3     at     η=η~.

Bipolytropic Envelope (Trial Simplification)[edit]

For the n=1 envelope of a (nc,ne)=(5,1) bipolytrope, the relevant LAWE is,

LAWE =

d2xdη2

   

+2{1+ηcos(ηB)sin(ηB)}1ηdxdη

   

+2{(σc212)η3Asin(ηB)1+ηcos(ηB)sin(ηB)}xη2.

Three terms in this expression blow up at the surface, where (ηB)π and, hence, sin(ηB)0. We can improve the behavior of this LAWE expression by assuming that the eigenfunction is of the form,

x =

f(η)[sin(ηB)]m,

in which case,

dxdη =

[sin(ηB)]mdfdη+mf(η)[sin(ηB)]m1cos(ηB);     and,

d2xdη2 =

[sin(ηB)]md2fdη2+2m[sin(ηB)]m1cos(ηB)dfdη+m(m1)f(η)[sin(ηB)]m2cos2(ηB)mf(η)[sin(ηB)]m1sin(ηB).

This gives,

LAWE =

[sin(ηB)]md2fdη2+2m[sin(ηB)]m1cos(ηB)dfdη+m(m1)f(η)[sin(ηB)]m2cos2(ηB)mf(η)[sin(ηB)]m1sin(ηB)

   

+2{1+ηcos(ηB)sin(ηB)}1η{[sin(ηB)]mdfdη+mf(η)[sin(ηB)]m1cos(ηB)}

   

+2{(σc212)ηAsin(ηB)1η2+cos(ηB)ηsin(ηB)}f(η)[sin(ηB)]m

  =

[sin(ηB)]md2fdη2+2{1η+cos(ηB)sin(ηB)}[sin(ηB)]mdfdη+2m[sin(ηB)]m1cos(ηB)dfdη

   

+m(m1)[sin(ηB)]m2cos2(ηB)f(η)m[sin(ηB)]m1sin(ηB)f(η)

   

+2m{1η+cos(ηB)sin(ηB)}[sin(ηB)]m1cos(ηB)f(η)+2{(σc212)ηAsin(ηB)1η2+cos(ηB)ηsin(ηB)}[sin(ηB)]mf(η)

  =

[sin(ηB)]md2fdη2+2{1η[sin(ηB)]+(m+1)cos(ηB)}[sin(ηB)]m1dfdη

   

+{m(m1)cos2(ηB)m[sin(ηB)]2}[sin(ηB)]m2f(η)

   

+{2mη[sin(ηB)]cos(ηB)+2mcos2(ηB)+[(σc26)ηA][sin(ηB)]2η2[sin(ηB)]2+2cos(ηB)η[sin(ηB)]}[sin(ηB)]m2f(η).

Try m = 1 and m = 2[edit]

If we set m=1, there are still terms in the LAWE expression that blow up at the surface, where (ηB)π and, hence, sin(ηB)0. Instead, let's try m=2:

LAWE|m=2 =

[sin(ηB)]2d2fdη2+2{1η[sin(ηB)]+3cos(ηB)}[sin(ηB)]dfdη

   

+{2cos2(ηB)2[sin(ηB)]2}f(η)

   

+{4η[sin(ηB)]cos(ηB)+4cos2(ηB)+[(σc26)ηA][sin(ηB)]2η2[sin(ηB)]2+2cos(ηB)η[sin(ηB)]}f(η),

which, at the surface ηηs=(π+B), reduces to …

{LAWE|m=2}ηs =

6f(ηs).

Hence, this LAWE will be satisfied for any function, f(η), that goes to zero at the surface.


Try m = 3[edit]

Setting m=3, we obtain,

LAWE|m=3 =

[sin(ηB)]3d2fdη2+2{1η[sin(ηB)]+4cos(ηB)}[sin(ηB)]2dfdη

   

+{6cos2(ηB)3[sin(ηB)]2}[sin(ηB)]f(η)

   

+{6η[sin(ηB)]cos(ηB)+6cos2(ηB)+[(σc26)ηA][sin(ηB)]2η2[sin(ηB)]2+2cos(ηB)η[sin(ηB)]}[sin(ηB)]f(η).

which trivially reduces to zero at the surface because, ηηs=(π+B)sin(ηB)0. For all other relevant radial positions in the envelope, ηiη<ηs, we can divide through by sin3(ηB) to obtain,

[sin(ηB)]3×LAWE|m=3 =

d2fdη2+2{1η+4cot(ηB)}dfdη+{12cot2(ηB)3+8η[cot(ηB)]+[(σc26)ηAsin(ηB)]2η2}f(η),

Boundary Condition[edit]

In addition, there is a (boundary condition) constraint on the slope of the eigenfunction at the surface. So, let's examine …

dlnxdlnη|m=2[ηxdxdη]m=2 =

ηf(η)sin2(ηB){sin2(ηB)dfdη+2f(η)sin(ηB)cos(ηB)}

  =

dlnfdlnη+2ηcot(ηB)

Now, from above, we appreciate that when ϕ=Asin(ηB)/η,

ηcot(ηB) =

1+dlnϕdlnξ

dlnxdlnη|m=2 =

dlnfdlnη+2[1+dlnϕdlnξ].

It therefore appears as though we should adopt the function relation,

dlnfdlnη =

2dlnϕdlnη


x =

f(η)[sin(ηB)]m,



Let's now examine "model A" from above, for which, A=0.200812422 and B=0.859270052. If we set σc2=0, this LAWE becomes,

0 =

d2xdη2+[42Q]1ηdxdη2[αQ]xη2.

Discrete Determination of Bipolytropic Envelope[edit]

Here we focus on the specific (nc,ne)=(5,1) equilibrium model sequence that has (μe/μc)=0.31; and along this sequence, we attempt to analyze the dynamical stability of "model A" from above, which sits along the sequence at the maximum-core-mass turning point for which …

(nc,ne)=(5,1) and (μe/μc)=0.31

As presented above, when σc2=0, the eigenfunction for the core that we have deduced via the B-KB74 conjecture appears to be well represented by the expressions,

xcore

=

C0[1ξ215],       and,       dxdξ|core=2C0ξ15,       with,       C0=0.0011,

over the radial-parameter range, 0ξξi.


At the Core/Envelope Interface
(as viewed from the core)
xi dxdξ|i r~i dxdr~|i [dlnxdlnξ]i=[dlnxdlnr~]i
+ 0.004859763 + 0.001322194 0.015314992 + 0.778291359 + 2.4526969


Copying from our earlier discussion of the envelope for "model A", the range of the radial parameter is,

(ηi=0.1723205)η(ηs=2.282322601).

SLOPE:  As we have detailed elsewhere, we expect that the slope of the function, xenv(r~), is related to the slope of xcore(r~) at the interface via the expression,

{dlnxdlnr|i}env={dlnxdlnη|i}env

=

3(γcγe1)+γcγe{dlnxdlnξ|i}core.

In our case, γc=6/5 and γe=2γc/γe=3/5. Hence, from the point of view of the envelope displacement function, at the interface,

[r~xenvdxenvdr~]i

=

35{[dln(xcore)dlnξ]i2}

 

=

35{[2.4526972}=0.271618.

Now, at the interface of any bipolytrope, the ratio r~/x should have the same numerical value whether it is viewed from the point of view of the core or the envelope. Given that, for our particular "model A",

[r~x]i=0.0153150.00485976=3.15139,

we should expect the slope of the envelope's displacement function at the interface to be,

dxenvdr~|i

=

0.08619.

As above, we will integrate the discrete LAWE outward using the finite-difference expression,

x+[2ϕi+4ΔηϕiηiΔη(n+1)(ϕ')i]TERM1

=

x[4ΔηϕiηiΔη(n+1)(ϕ')i2ϕi]TERM2+xi{4ϕiΔη2(n+1)3[σc2γg2α(3ϕ'η)i]}TERM3.

When we started the integration at the center of the configuration, we kickstarted the process by, first, setting x1=1; then, second, setting,

x2

=

x1[1(n+1)𝔉Δη260],

      where,      

𝔉

[σc2γg2α].

Having obtained x1x and x2xi, we then used the finite-difference expression to calculate x+x3, as well as all subsequent "x+" values, all the way to the surface.

Here, instead, we want to start the envelope integration at the core/envelope interface as follows:

  1. The displacement function for the core gives us the value of the displacement function, xi=+0.004859763, at ξi=9.0149598, that is, at ηi=0.17232050; we recognize that this value of xi (at the interface) also furnishes the value of xi in the first integration step of the finite-difference expressions.
  2. We will then "guess" the slope of the envelope's displacement function, q[dx/dη]i, at the interface.
  3. Our discrete representation of this first derivative permits us to write,

    q

    x+x2Δη

    x

    x+2qΔη.

    Inserting this expression into the finite-difference approximation to the LAWE gives for the first integration step only!

    x+TERM1

    =

    (x+2qΔη)TERM2+xiTERM3

    x+[TERM1TERM2]

    =

    xiTERM32qΔηTERM2.

NOTE:   Judging by the behavior of the B-KB74 generated displacement function, at the interface we expect the slope, [dlnx/dlnr~]env, from the envelope's perspective to be shallower than the slope, [dlnx/dlnr~]core, from the core's perspective. That is to say, we expect to "guess" values of q such that at the interface,
