=====Details Regarding Radial Coordinate Specification===== We should emphasize that values of <math>~|\Delta|</math>, <math>~|g_{0,0,2}|</math>, and <math>~\alpha_{0,0,2}</math> that have been tabulated in Table 5 and that have been used to generate the two Panel C plots, were determined from analytic expressions that are functions of the parameter, <math>~\eta</math>, not explicitly functions of the radial coordinate, <math>~\chi</math>. How did we determine <math>~\chi</math> from <math>~\eta</math> ? Noting that, in the equatorial plane, <div align="center"> <math>\chi = 1 - x\cos\theta \, ,</math> </div> with <math>~\cos\theta = \pm 1</math>, we ''could'' have used the [[#Normal_Modes_in_Slender_Tori|slender torus approximation]], <math>~x \approx \eta\beta</math>, to generate the algebraic mapping, <div align="center"> <math>\chi \approx 1 \pm \eta\beta \, .</math> </div> This would have produced amplitude curves with reflection symmetry about the torus center <math>~(\chi = 1)</math>, and a "constant phase locus" exhibiting symmetry after double-reflection — reflection about the phase angle, - π/2, as well as about <math>~(\chi = 1)</math>. Instead, here we have adopted [[#Establishing_the_Simpler_Eigenvalue_Problem|the more accurate and more realistic, asymmetric relation]] between <math>~x</math> and <math>~\eta</math>, namely, <div align="center"> <math>~x^2 \pm 2x^3 = (\beta\eta)^2 \, .</math> </div> In an <!-- [[Appendix/Ramblings/PPTori#Cubic_Equation_Solution|accompanying discussion]]--> [[Appendix/Ramblings/PPToriPt1A#Cubic_Equation_Solution|accompanying discussion]], we show that the relevant roots of this cubic equation give, from the inner edge of the torus to the pressure/density maximum, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~x_\mathrm{inner}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\equiv</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{1}{6}\biggl\{1 + 2\cos\biggl[\tfrac{1}{3}\cos^{-1}(1-54\beta^2\eta^2) + \frac{2\pi}{3} \biggr] \biggr\} \, , </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> while, from the pressure/density maximum to the outer edge of the torus, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~x_\mathrm{outer}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\equiv</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{1}{6}\biggl\{1 + 2\cos\biggl[\tfrac{1}{3}\cos^{-1}(1-54\beta^2\eta^2) - \frac{2\pi}{3} \biggr] \biggr\} \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Sample values of <math>~x_\mathrm{inner}</math> and <math>~x_\mathrm{outer}</math> are given in the last two columns of Table 5, assuming <math>~\beta = 0.12</math>. In either case, the desired dimensionless radial coordinate is then obtained from the expression, <div align="center"> <math>~\chi = 1 + x_\mathrm{inner/outer} \, .</math> </div>
