===Equilibrium Properties of Marginally Unstable Models=== Table 2 summarizes some of the equilibrium properties of these six models. For example, the second column of the table gives the value of the core-envelope interface radius, <math>~\xi_i</math>, associated with each marginally unstable model. The table also lists: the value of the model's dimensionless radius, <math>~R^*_\mathrm{surf}</math>, the key structural parameters, <math>~q</math> & <math>~\nu</math>, and the central-to-mean density associated with each model; and in each case the dimensionless thermal energy <math>~(\mathfrak{s})</math> and dimensionless gravitational potential energy <math>~(\mathfrak{w})</math> associated, separately, with the core and the envelope. Note that, once the pair of parameters, <math>~(\mu_e/\mu_c, \xi_i)</math>, has been specified, we can legitimately assign high-precision values to all of the other model parameters because they are [[SSC/Structure/BiPolytropes/Analytic51#Parameter_Values|analytically prescribed]]. <div align="center"> <table border="1" cellpadding="8" align="center"> <tr> <th align="center" colspan="10"> '''Table 2:''' Properties of Marginally Unstable Bipolytropes Having<br /><br /><math>~(n_c, n_e) = (5, 1)</math> and <math>~(\gamma_c, \gamma_e) = (\tfrac{6}{5}, 2)</math><br /><br />Determined from Integration of the LAWE </th> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><math>~\frac{\mu_e}{\mu_c}</math></td> <td align="center"><math>~\xi_i</math></td> <td align="center"><math>~R^*_\mathrm{surf}</math></td> <td align="center"><math>~q \equiv \frac{r_\mathrm{core}}{R_\mathrm{surf}}</math></td> <td align="center"><math>~\nu \equiv \frac{M_\mathrm{core}}{M_\mathrm{tot}}</math></td> <td align="center"><math>~\frac{\rho_c}{\bar\rho}</math></td> <td align="center"><math>~\mathfrak{s}_\mathrm{core}</math></td> <td align="center"><math>~\mathfrak{w}_\mathrm{core}</math></td> <td align="center"><math>~\mathfrak{s}_\mathrm{env}</math></td> <td align="center"><math>~\mathfrak{w}_\mathrm{env}</math></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">1</td> <td align="left">1.6686460157</td> <td align="right">2.139737</td> <td align="center">0.53885819</td> <td align="center">0.497747626</td> <td align="center">8.51704656</td> <td align="center">3.021916335</td> <td align="center">-3.356583022</td> <td align="center">1.47780476</td> <td align="center">-5.642859167</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><math>~\tfrac{1}{2}</math></td> <td align="left">2.27925811317</td> <td align="right">5.146499</td> <td align="center">0.306021732</td> <td align="center">0.401776274</td> <td align="center">63.29514949</td> <td align="center">4.241287117</td> <td align="center">-6.074241035</td> <td align="center">4.284931508</td> <td align="center">-10.97819621</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">0.345</td> <td align="left">2.560146865247</td> <td align="right">9.554041</td> <td align="center">0.185160563</td> <td align="center">0.234302525</td> <td align="center">209.7739052</td> <td align="center">4.639705843</td> <td align="center">-7.125754184</td> <td align="center">11.72861751</td> <td align="center">-25.61089252</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><math>~\tfrac{1}{3}</math></td> <td align="left">2.582007485476</td> <td align="right">10.120558</td> <td align="center">0.176288391</td> <td align="center">0.218241608</td> <td align="center">230.4125398</td> <td align="center">4.667042505</td> <td align="center">-7.200966267</td> <td align="center">13.15887139</td> <td align="center">-28.45086152</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">0.309</td> <td align="left">2.6274239687695</td> <td align="center">11.464303</td> <td align="center">0.158362807</td> <td align="center">0.184796947</td> <td align="center">279.0788798</td> <td align="center">4.722277318</td> <td align="center">-7.354156963</td> <td align="center">17.1374434</td> <td align="center">-36.36528446</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><math>~\tfrac{1}{4}</math></td> <td align="left">2.7357711469398</td> <td align="center">15.895632</td> <td align="center">0.118924863</td> <td align="center">0.11071211</td> <td align="center">430.0444648</td> <td align="center">4.84592201</td> <td align="center">-7.70305421</td> <td align="center">37.84289623</td> <td align="center">-77.67458196</td> </tr> </table> </div> <!-- OLD VERSION; IGNORE!

That is to say, we found that ''none'' of the models lies on the (red-dashed) curve in the <math>~q-\nu</math> parameter space that separates stable from unstable models as defined by our [[#What_to_Expect_for_Equilibrium_Configurations|above free-energy-based stability analysis]]. The left-hand panel of Figure 4 shows this (red-dashed) demarcation curve; for all intents and purposes, it is a reproduction of the right-hand panel of [[#Virial_Stability_Evaluation|Figure 3, above]] — turning-point markers have been removed to minimize clutter, the equilibrium sequences have been labeled, and the horizontal axis has been extended to unity in order to include a longer portion of the <math>~\mu_e/\mu_c = 1</math> sequence. The orange triangular markers that appear in the right-hand panel of Figure 4 pinpoint where each of the Table 2 "marginally unstable" models resides in this <math>~q-\nu</math> plane. Clearly, all six of the orange triangles lie well off of — and to the ''stable'' side of — the red-dashed demarcation curve. This discrepancy, which has resulted from our use of two separate approaches to stability analysis, will be discussed further and gratifyingly resolved, below. <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <th align="center">Figure 4</th> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="10">[[File:NEWCompositeDlabeled.png|800px|Marginally unstable models]]</td> </tr> </table>
