==Chandrasekhar's U and V Functions== As presented by {{ Murphy83a }}, most of the development and analysis of this model was conducted within the framework of what is commonly referred to in the astrophysics community as the "U-V" plane. Specifically in the context of the model's <math>~n_c=1</math> core, this pair of referenced functions is: <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>U_{1E} \equiv \xi \theta \biggl(- \frac{d\theta}{d\xi}\biggr)^{-1}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>\sin\xi\biggl[\frac{1}{\xi^{2}} (\sin\xi - \xi\cos\xi)\biggr]^{-1}</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>\frac{\xi^2}{(1 - \xi\cot\xi)} \, ;</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>(n_c+1) V_{1E} \equiv (n_c+1)\frac{\xi}{ \theta} \biggl(- \frac{d\theta}{d\xi}\biggr)</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>\frac{2\xi^2}{\sin\xi} \biggl[ \frac{1}{\xi^{2}} (\sin\xi - \xi\cos\xi) \biggr]</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>2(1 - \xi\cot\xi) \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Correspondingly, in the context of the model's <math>n_e=5</math> envelope, the pair of referenced functions is: <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>U_{5F} \equiv \xi \phi^5 \biggl(- \frac{d\phi}{d\xi}\biggr)^{-1}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \frac{B^{-4}\xi \sin^5\Delta}{\xi^{5/2}\{3-2\sin^2\Delta\}^{5/2}} \biggl[ \frac{2\xi^{3/2}(3-2\sin^2\Delta)^{3/2}}{3\sin\Delta - 2\sin^3\Delta -3\cos\Delta } \biggr] </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \frac{2B^{-4}\sin^5\Delta}{[3-2\sin^2\Delta][3\sin\Delta - 2\sin^3\Delta -3\cos\Delta ]} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \frac{-2B^{-4}\sin^5\Delta}{[2+\cos(2\Delta)][3\cos\Delta - \frac{3}{2}\sin\Delta - \frac{1}{2}\sin(3\Delta) ]} \, ;

In general, this will not be the case, so we have explicitly used a different independent variable, <math>\eta</math>, to mark the envelope's radial coordinate in our expressions. It is clear from other elements of his published derivation that Murphy understood this distinction but, as is explained more fully below, errors in his final model specifications may have resulted from not explicitly differentiating between this variable notation.
