===Relating and Reconciling Two Mass-Radius Relationships for n = 3 Polytropes===

For pressure-truncated <math>~n=3</math> polytropes, [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1983ApJ...268..165S Stahler (1983)] did not identify a polynomial relationship between the mass and radius of equilibrium configurations.  However, from his analysis of detailed force-balance models ([[User:Tohline/SSC/Virial/PolytropesSummary#Detailed_Force-Balanced_Solution_2|summarized above]]), we appreciate that the governing pair of parametric relations is,
<div align="center">
<table border="0" cellpadding="3">

<tr>
  <td align="right">
<math>
~\mathcal{X}
</math>
  </td>
  <td align="center">
<math>~=~</math>
  </td>
  <td align="left">
<math>
\biggl( \frac{3}{4\pi} \biggr)^{1/2} \tilde\xi \tilde\theta \, ,
</math>
  </td>
</tr>

<tr>
  <td align="right">
<math>
~\mathcal{Y}
</math>
  </td>
  <td align="center">
<math>~=~</math>
  </td>
  <td align="left">
<math>
\biggl( \frac{3^3}{4\pi} \biggr)^{1/2} (- \tilde\xi^2 \tilde\theta^') \, .
</math>
  </td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
On the other hand, the polynomial that results from plugging <math>~n=3</math> into the [[User:Tohline/SSC/Virial/PolytropesSummary#ConciseVirialXY|general mass-radius relation that is obtained via the virial theorem]] is,

<div align="center">
<math>
\frac{2^3 \pi}{3} \mathcal{X}^4   - \biggl[ \frac{\mathcal{Y}^{4}}{4\pi}\biggr]^{1/3} \mathfrak{b}_{n=3} + \frac{4}{3} \mathcal{Y}^2 
= 0 \, ,
</math>
</div>
where,
<div align="center">
<math>\mathfrak{b}_{n=3} = \biggl[ 4 (-\tilde\theta^')^2 + \frac{2}{3} \tilde\theta^{4} \biggr]
\biggl( \frac{\tilde\xi}{-\tilde\theta^'} \biggr)^{4/3} \, .
</math>
</div>
