===Central Pressure=== It is also worth pointing out that [[Appendix/References|Chandrasekhar [C67]]] — see his Equations (80) & (81), p. 99 — introduces a dimensionless structural form factor, <math>~W_n</math>, for the central pressure via the expression, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~P_c</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~W_n \biggl( \frac{GM^2}{R^4} \biggr) \, ,</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> and demonstrates that, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\frac{1}{W_n}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\equiv</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~4\pi (n+1) \biggl[ \Theta^' \biggr]^2_{\xi_1} \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> It is therefore clear that a spherical polytrope's central pressure is expressible in terms of our structural form factor, <math>~\mathfrak{f}_A</math>, as, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~P_c</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{3}{4\pi (5-n)} \biggl( \frac{GM_\mathrm{tot}^2}{R_\mathrm{eq}^4} \biggr) \frac{1}{\mathfrak{f}_A} \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <!-- (August 2015) REMOVE NEXT FEW LINES, AS CONNECTION WITH MEAN PRESSURE IS UNJUSTIFIED ... Looking back at our [[SSCpt1/Virial#FormFactors|original definition of the structural form factors]], we note that, <div align="center"> <math>\mathfrak{f}_A = \biggl( \frac{\bar{P}}{P_c} \biggr)_\mathrm{eq} \, .</math> </div> Hence, this last equilibrium relation can be rewritten as, <div align="center"> <math> \frac{\bar{P} R_\mathrm{eq}^4}{GM_\mathrm{tot}^2} = \frac{3}{4\pi (5-n)} \, .</math> </div> END DELETION -->
