===Whitworth's Normalization=== [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1981MNRAS.195..967W Whitworth] (1981, MNRAS, 195, 967) examined the behavior of model sequences that result from embedding polytropes with various effective adiabatic indexes <math>~(\gamma_g = 1/3,~ 2/3,~ 1,~ 4/3,~ 5/3)</math> in an external medium of pressure <math>~P_e</math>. Following Ebert's lead, in his Figure 1b, Whitworth showed how the size of the configuration varies with <math>~P_e</math> along each sequence. A reproduction of Whitworth's Figure 1b has been displayed [[SSC/Structure/PolytropesEmbedded#WhitworthFig1b|in our separate discussion of pressure-bounded polytropic configurations that have analytic prescriptions]], but we have again displayed the figure here, in the right-most panel of our Figure 2, because Whitworth included pressure-bounded isothermal configurations <math>~(\gamma_g = 1)</math> among his models. The red arrow identifies the isothermal sequence. Whitworth's Figure 1b effectively serves as an extension of Ebert's Figure 2, shown above in the left-most panel of our Figure 2. In order to assist comparison with Ebert's figure, this time we have rotated and flipped Whitworth's figure relative to its original orientation because Whitworth chose to plot <math>~R</math> versus <math>~P_e</math> whereas Ebert plotted <math>~P_e</math> versus <math>~R</math>. <div align="center" id="Fig3"> <table border="1" width="80%"> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="3"> '''Figure 3: Whitworth's P-R Diagrams''' </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" width="30%> [[File:WhitworthFig1bCopy.jpg|400px|center|Whitworth (1981) Figure 1b]] <!-- [[Image:AAAwaiting01.png|250px|center|Ebert (1955) Figure 2]] --> </td> <td align="center" rowspan="2" width="40%"> '''Pertaining to Reprinted Figure''' <br />(both on the top-left and on the right) <table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="2" width="90%"> <tr><td align="right" width="25%">Author (year):</td><td align="left">[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1981MNRAS.195..967W A.
