=BiPolytrope= [Following a discussion that Tohline had with Kundan Kadam on <font color="red">3 July 2013</font>, we have decided to carry out a virial equilibrium and stability analysis of nonrotating bipolytropes.] We will adopt the following approach: * Properties of the core <math>\cdots</math> ** Uniform density, <math>\rho_c</math>; ** Polytropic constant, <math>K_c</math>, and polytropic index, <math>n_c</math>; ** Surface of the core at <math>r_i</math>; * Properties of the envelope <math>\cdots</math> ** Uniform density, <math>\rho_e</math>; ** Polytropic constant, <math>K_e</math>, and polytropic index, <math>n_e</math>; ** Base of the core at <math>r_i</math> and surface at <math>R</math>. Use the dimensionless radius, <div align="center"> <math>\xi \equiv \frac{r}{r_i}</math>. </div> Then, <math>\xi_i = 1</math> and <math>\xi_s \equiv R/r_i</math>. ==Expressions for Mass== Inside the core, the expression for the mass interior to any radius, <math>0 \le \xi \le 1</math>, is, <div align="center"> <math>M_\xi = \frac{4\pi}{3} \rho_c r_i^3 \xi^3</math> . </div> The expression for the mass interior to any position within the envelope, <math>1 \le \xi \le \xi_s</math>, is, <div align="center"> <math>M_\xi = \frac{4\pi}{3} r_i^3 \biggl[\rho_c + \rho_e(\xi^3 - 1) \biggr]</math> . </div> Hence, in terms of a reference mass, <math>~M_0 \equiv 4\pi \rho_0 R_0^3/3</math>, the mass of the core, the mass of the envelope, and the total mass are, respectively, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>M_\mathrm{core}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \frac{4\pi}{3} \rho_c r_i^3 = M_0 \biggl[ \frac{\rho_c}{\rho_0} \biggl( \frac{r_i}{R_0}\biggr)^3 \biggr] ~~~~~\Rightarrow~~~~~ \frac{\rho_c}{\rho_0} = \frac{M_\mathrm{core}}{M_0} \biggl( \frac{r_i}{R_0}\biggr)^{-3} \, ;

The leading term, which scales as <math>R^{-1}</math>, encapsulates the behavior of the gravitational potential energy for a given choice of the internal structure, namely, a given choice of <math>\xi_s</math>, <math>\nu</math>, and density ratio <math>(\rho_e/\rho_c)</math>. Actually, only two internal structural parameters need to be specified — <math>\xi_s</math> and <math>f_c</math>; from these two, the expressions shown above allow the determination of both <math>(\rho_e/\rho_c)</math> and <math>\nu</math>. Keeping in mind our desire to discuss the properties of bipolytropes in the context of the <math>\nu - q</math> plane introduced by [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1942ApJ....96..161S Schönberg & Chandrasekhar (1942, ApJ, 96, 1615)], we will rewrite this expression for the gravitational potential energy as, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>W_\mathrm{grav}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>- \frac{3}{5} \biggl( \frac{GM_\mathrm{tot}^2}{R} \biggr) \frac{\nu^2}{q} \cdot f\biggl(q, \frac{\rho_e}{\rho_c} \biggr) \, ,</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> where, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>f\biggl(q, \frac{\rho_e}{\rho_c} \biggr)</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>\equiv</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> 1 + \frac{5}{2} \biggl( \frac{\rho_e}{\rho_c} \biggr) \biggl(\frac{1}{q^2} - 1 \biggr) + \biggl( \frac{\rho_e}{\rho_c} \biggr)^2 \biggl[ \biggl( \frac{1}{q^5} - 1 \biggr) - \frac{5}{2}\biggl(\frac{1}{q^2} - 1 \biggr) \biggr] </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> 1 + \frac{5}{2} \biggl( \frac{\rho_e}{\rho_c} \biggr) \frac{1}{q^5} \biggl[ (q^3- q^5 ) + \biggl( \frac{\rho_e}{\rho_c} \biggr) \biggl( \frac{2}{5} -q^3 + \frac{3}{5}q^5\biggr) \biggr] \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div>
