Hence our speculation has been shown to be correct, at least for the case of bipolytropes with, <math>~(\gamma_c, \gamma_e) = (\tfrac{6}{5}, 2)</math>. ===Stability Condition=== According to the accompanying [[SSC/BipolytropeGeneralization#Stability|free-energy based, generalized formulation of stability in bipolytropes]], our above derived <math>~(n_c, n_e) = (5,1)</math> bipolytropes — or, equivalently, <math>~(\gamma_c, \gamma_e) = (6/5, 2)</math> bipolytropes — will be dynamically stable only if, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~ - (W_\mathrm{core} + W_\mathrm{env}) \biggl( \gamma_e - \frac{4}{3}\biggr) </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~>~</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> ~ 2(\gamma_e-\gamma_c) S_\mathrm{core} \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Otherwise, they will be dynamically unstable toward radial perturbations. For various values of the <math>~\mu_e/\mu_c</math> ratio, Table 3 identifies the value of <math>~\xi_i</math> — and the corresponding values of <math>~q</math> and <math>~\nu</math> — at which the left-hand side of this stability relation equals the right-hand side. The locus of points provided by Table 3 defines the curve that separates stable from unstable regions of the <math>~q-\nu</math> parameter space. The red-dashed curve drawn in Figure 3 graphically depicts this demarcation: the region below the curve identifies bipolytrope models that are dynamically stable while the region above the curve identifies unstable models. <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" width="85%"> <tr> <td align="center" rowspan="2"> <table border="1" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <th align="center" colspan="9"> Table 3: Points Defining Stability Curve </th> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" width="25%"> <math>~\mu_e/\mu_c</math> </td> <td align="center" width="25%"> <math>~\xi_i</math> </td> <td align="center" width="25%"> <math>~q </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\nu </math> </td> <td align="center" rowspan="12" bgcolor="#EEEEEE"> </td> <td align="center" width="25%"> <math>~\mu_e/\mu_c</math> </td> <td align="center" width="25%"> <math>~\xi_i</math> </td> <td align="center" width="25%"> <math>~q </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\nu </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> 1 </td> <td align="center"> 2.416 </td> <td align="center"> 0.5952 </td> <td align="center"> 0.6830 </td> <td align="center"> 0.375 </td> <td align="center"> 6.259 </td> <td align="center"> 0.1695 </td> <td align="center"> 0.6054 </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> 0.95 </td> <td align="center"> 2.500 </td> <td align="center"> 0.5805 </td> <td align="center"> 0.6884 </td> <td align="center"> 0.350 </td> <td align="center"> 7.341 </td> <td align="center"> 0.1284 </td> <td align="center"> 0.5439 </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> 0.90 </td> <td align="center"> 2.594 </td> <td align="center"> 0.5642 </td> <td align="center"> 0.6937 </td> <td align="center"> 0.340 </td> <td align="center"> 7.991 </td> <td align="center"> 0.1109 </td> <td align="center"> 0.5081 </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> 0.80 </td> <td align="center"> 2.816 </td> <td align="center"> 0.5255 </td> <td align="center"> 0.7031 </td> <td align="center"> ⅓ </td> <td align="center"> 8.548 </td> <td align="center"> 0.0990 </td> <td align="center"> 0.4790 </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> 0.70 </td> <td align="center"> 3.109 </td> <td align="center"> 0.4775 </td> <td align="center"> 0.7104 </td> <td align="center"> 0.32 </td> <td align="center"> 10.2 </td> <td align="center"> 0.0744 </td> <td align="center"> 0.4038 </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> 0.65 </td> <td align="center"> 3.296 </td> <td align="center"> 0.4481 </td> <td align="center"> 0.7124 </td> <td align="center"> 0.31 </td> <td align="center"> 12.4 </td> <td align="center"> 0.05536 </td> <td align="center"> 0.3264 </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> 0.60 </td> <td align="center"> 3.523 </td> <td align="center"> 0.4142 </td> <td align="center"> 0.7125 </td> <td align="center"> 0.305 </td> <td align="center"> 14.4 </td> <td align="center"> 0.04494 </td> <td align="center"> 0.2772 </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> 0.55 </td> <td align="center"> 3.809 </td> <td align="center"> 0.3748 </td> <td align="center"> 0.7096 </td> <td align="center"> 0.3 </td> <td align="center"> 17.733 </td> <td align="center"> 0.03412 </td> <td align="center"> 0.2186 </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> ½ </td> <td align="center"> 4.186 </td> <td align="center"> 0.3284 </td> <td align="center"> 0.7014 </td> <td align="center"> 0.295 </td> <td align="center"> 25.737 </td> <td align="center"> 0.02165 </td> <td align="center"> 0.14347 </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> 0.45 </td> <td align="center"> 4.719 </td> <td align="center"> 0.2733 </td> <td align="center"> 0.6830 </td> <td align="center"> 0.291 </td> <td align="center"> 75.510 </td> <td align="center"> 0.00666 </td> <td align="center"> 0.0450 </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> 0.40 </td> <td align="center"> 5.574 </td> <td align="center"> 0.2073 </td> <td align="center"> 0.6429 </td> <td align="center"> </td> <td align="center"> </td> <td align="center"> </td> <td align="center"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td align="center" colspan="1" bgcolor="white"> [[Image:PlotStabilityBest02.png|500px|center]] </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" colspan="1"> '''Figure 3:''' Largely the same as Figure 1, above, but a red-dashed curve has been added that separates the <math>~q - \nu</math> domain into regions that contain stable models (lying below the curve) from dynamically unstable models (lying above the curve), as determined by the virial stability analysis presented here. </td> </tr> </table> </div>
