Gravitational Potential Energy[edit]

The Core[edit]

Borrowing from our derivation, above, of the mass distribution in this type of bipolytrope, the expression for the gravitational potential energy in the core that has been outlined in our accompanying overview may be written as,

Wgrav|core

=

Enormχ1[νq3(ρ0ρ¯)core]eq0q3x[Mr(x)Mtot]core[ρ(x)ρ0]coredx

 

=

Enormχ1[νq3(1+aξq2)3/2]eq0q3x{ν(x3q3)[1+aξx21+aξq2]3/2}(1+aξx2)5/2dx

 

=

Enormχ1[3(νq3)2(1+aξq2)3]eq0qx4(1+aξx2)4dx

 

=

Enormχ1[3(νq3)2(1+aξq2)3]eq{aξ1/2q(3aξ2q48aξq23)+3(aξq2+1)3tan1(aξ1/2q)48aξ5/2(aξq2+1)3}

 

=

Enormχ1[(324)aξ5/2(νq3)2(1+aξq2)3]eq[aξ1/2q(aξ2q483aξq21)(aξq2+1)3+tan1(aξ1/2q)].

MORE USEFUL:

χ[WgravEnorm]core

=

[(324)(qi)5(νq3)2(1+i2)3]eq[i(i483i21)(i2+1)3+tan1i]

 

=

35[(νq3)2(1+i2)3]eq(524)(qi)5[i(i483i21)(i2+1)3+tan1i].

But, also from our above discussion of the mass profile, we can write,

aξ5/2(νq3)2(1+aξq2)3

=

χeq(2336π)1/2.

Hence,

(WgravEnorm)core

=

χeqχ(3825π)1/2[aξ1/2q(aξ2q483aξq21)(aξq2+1)3+tan1(aξ1/2q)].

After making the substitution, (aξ1/2q)xi, this expression agrees with a result for the dimensionless energy, Wcore*, derived by Tohline in the context of detailed force-balanced bipolytropes.

The Envelope[edit]

Again, borrowing from our derivation, above, of the mass distribution in this type of bipolytrope, the expression for the gravitational potential energy in the envelope that has been outlined in our accompanying overview may be written as,

(WgravEnorm)env

=

χ1[(1ν1q3)(ρ0ρ¯)env]eqq13x[Mr(x)Mtot]env[ρ(x)ρ0]envdx

 

=

χ1[νq3θi3]q13x{νC1[sin(Bbηx)+xbηcos(Bbηx)]}{A(μeμc)θi5[sin(bηxB)bηx]}dx

 

=

χ1(μeμc)[3ν2Aθi2bηq3]1C1q1[xbηcos(bηxB)sin(bηxB)]sin(bηxB)dx

 

=

χ1(μeμc)[3ν2Aθi2bηq3][3Aθi2(μeμc)(bηq)3]q1[xbηcos(bηxB)sin(bηxB)]sin(bηxB)dx

 

=

χ1(μeμc)2[32A2bη4](ν2θi4q6)q1[sin(bηxB)xbηcos(bηxB)]sin(bηxB)dx.

But we also know, from above, that,

χeq=bη5(34π23)1/2(μeμc)5ν2θi4q6

        

ν2θi4q6=χeqbη5(2334π)1/2(μeμc)5.

So we have,

(WgravEnorm)env

=

χeqχ(μeμc)3(23π)1/2A2bηq1[sin(bηxB)xbηcos(bηxB)]sin(bηxB)dx.


The integral can be broken into two separate parts:

q1sin2(bηxB)dx

=

14bη{2bηxsin[2(bηxB)]}q1,

and,

q1xbηcos(bηxB)sin(bηxB)dx

=

18bη{2bηxcos[2(bηxB)]sin[2(bηxB)]}q1.

(Note: We have dropped integration constants that might result from carrying out an indefinite integral because such constants would disappear upon application of our specified limits of integration.) When added together, they give,

q1dx

=

18bη{2bηxcos[2(bηxB)]3sin[2(bηxB)]+4bηx}q1

 

=

18bη{2bηx[12sin2(bηxB)]3sin[2(bηxB)]+4bηx}q1

 

=

18bη[6bηx3sin[2(bηxB)]4bηxsin2(bηxB)]q1.

Hence,

(WgravEnorm)env

=

χeqχ(μeμc)3(123π)1/2A2[6bηx3sin[2(bηxB)]4bηxsin2(bηxB)]q1.

This expression matches in detail the expression for the gravitational potential energy of the envelope derived in the context of our derivation of detailed force-balanced models of this bipolytrope.
