===Kimura's Presentation=== At the same time Whitworth's work was being published, [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1981PASJ...33..273K Kimura (1981a)] also published a derivation of the equations that define the equilibrium properties of embedded, pressure-truncated polytropic configurations. (Note that an [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1981PASJ...33..749K erratum] has been published correcting typographical errors that appear in a few equations of the original paper.) When compared with, for example, [[SSC/Structure/PolytropesEmbedded#Horedt.27s_Presentation|Horedt's published work]] — which Kimura references — Kimura's set of structural equations are a bit more difficult to digest because they include (a) an equation-of-state index that is different from the traditional ''polytropic index'' — specifically (see his equation 6), <div align="center"> <math>~\sigma \equiv (n+1)^{-1} \, </math> </div> — which was Kimura's effort to more gracefully accommodate discussions of isothermal <math>~(n=\infty)</math> configurations; and (b) an additional integer index, <math>~m</math>, so that a single set of equations can be used to specify the structure of planar <math>~(m = 1)</math> and cylindrical <math>~(m=2)</math> as well as spherical <math>~(m=3)</math> configurations. In the present context, we will fix the value to <math>~m = 3</math>. Kimura also chose to express his structural solutions in terms of a dimensionless radius, <math>~\zeta</math>, instead of the traditional variable, <math>~\xi</math> — note that the two are related via the expression, <div align="center"> <math>~\zeta = (n+1)^{1/2} \xi \, ;</math> </div> and in terms of a dimensionless gravitational potential, <math>~\phi</math>, instead of the traditional dimensionless enthalpy variable, <math>~\theta_n</math> — note that the two are related via the expression (see Kimura's equation 12), <div align="center"> <math>~\phi = \sigma^{-1}(1 - \theta_n) \, .</math> </div> Given this relationship, we note as well that, <div align="center"> <math>~\phi^' \equiv \frac{d\phi}{d\zeta} = -\frac{d\theta_n}{d\xi} \cdot \biggl[ \sigma^{-1} \frac{d\xi}{d\zeta} \biggr] = -\frac{d\theta_n}{d\xi} (n+1)^{1/2} \, .</math> </div> The set of equilibrium equations derived by [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1981PASJ...33..273K Kimura (1981a)] in what he identifies as "Paper I" — see especially his equations number (16) and (23) — are summarized most succinctly in Table 1 of his "Paper II" ([http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1981PASJ...33..299K Kimura 1981b]). The equations he presents for "radial distance," "pressure," and "fractional mass within <math>~\tilde{\zeta}</math>" are, respectively, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> ~\frac{R_\mathrm{eq}}{R_\mathrm{Kimura}} </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=~</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \tilde\zeta = (n+1)^{1/2} \tilde\xi \, , </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> ~\frac{P_\mathrm{e}}{P_\mathrm{Kimura}} </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=~</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \tilde\theta_n^{n+1}\, , </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> ~\frac{M}{M_\mathrm{Kimura}} </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=~</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \tilde\zeta^2 {\tilde\phi}^' = (n+1)^{3/2} \biggl[ - \xi^2 \frac{d\theta_n}{d\xi} \biggr]_{\tilde\xi} \, , </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> where, expressed in terms of the central pressure, <math>~p_*</math>, and the polytropic constant, <math>~K_n, ~[</math>note that, in Kimura's paper, <math>~H = K_n^{n/(n+1)}]</math>, the relevant normalization parameters are, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> ~R_\mathrm{Kimura} </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\equiv~</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> (4\pi G)^{-1/2} H p_*^{\sigma - 1/2} = (4\pi G)^{-1/2} K_n^{n/(n+1)} p_*^{(1-n)/[2(n+1)]} \, , </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> ~P_\mathrm{Kimura} </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=~</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> p_* \, , </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> ~M_\mathrm{Kimura} </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=~</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> (4\pi G)^{-3/2} (4\pi) H^2 p_*^{2\sigma - 1/2} = (4\pi G^3)^{-1/2} K_n^{2n/(n+1)} p_*^{(3-n)/[2(n+1)]} \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> In order to compare Kimura's equilibrium expressions for <math>~R_\mathrm{eq}</math> and <math>~P_e</math> with the corresponding expressions presented by [[SSC/Structure/PolytropesEmbedded#Horedt.27s_Presentation|Horedt]] and by [[SSC/Structure/PolytropesEmbedded#Whitworth.27s_Presentation|Whitworth]], we need to replace <math>~p_*</math> by <math>~M</math> in both expressions.
