====Volume Integrals==== We note, first, that the mass enclosed within each interior radius, <math>r</math>, is <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>M_r(r) = \int\limits_V dm</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>\int_0^r 4\pi r^2 \rho dr \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Hence, if the volume of the configuration extends out to a radius denoted by <math>R_\mathrm{limit}</math>, the configuration mass is, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>M_\mathrm{limit}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>\int_0^{R_\mathrm{limit}} 4\pi r^2 \rho dr \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <table align="center" border="1" width="80%" cellpadding="8"> <tr><td align="left"> NOTE: The following considerations have led us to formally draw a distinction between <math>M_\mathrm{limit}</math> and the "total" mass, <math>M_\mathrm{tot}</math>, that we use (see below) for normalization. <font color="maroon"><b>Isolated Polytropes</b></font>: For [[SSC/Virial/Polytropes#Isolated_Nonrotating_Adiabatic_Configuration|isolated polytropes]], the limit of integration, <math>R_\mathrm{limit}</math>, will be the natural edge of the configuration, where the pressure and mass-density drop to zero.

In this case as well, one might choose to refer to <math>M_\mathrm{limit}</math> as the total mass; on the other hand, it might be more useful to distinguish <math>M_\mathrm{limit}</math> from <math>M_\mathrm{tot}</math>, continuing to rely on <math>M_\mathrm{tot}</math> to represent the mass of the corresponding ''isolated'' polytrope. <font color="maroon"><b>BiPolytropes</b></font>: When discussing [[SSC/BipolytropeGeneralizationVersion2#Bipolytrope_Generalization|bipolytropes]], the limit of integration, <math>R_\mathrm{limit}</math>, will naturally refer to the radial location that defines the outer edge of the configuration's "core" and, at the same time, identifies the radial "interface" between the bipolytrope's core and its envelope. In this case, <math>M_\mathrm{limit}</math> corresponds to the mass of the core rather than to the total mass of the bipolytropic configuration. </td></tr> </table> <font color="red">Confinement by External Pressure:</font> For spherically symmetric configurations, the energy term due to confinement by an external pressure can be expressed, simply, in terms of the configuration's radius, <math>R_\mathrm{limit}</math>, as, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>P_e V</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>P_e \int_0^{R_\mathrm{limit}} 4\pi r^2 dr = \frac{4\pi}{3} P_e R_\mathrm{limit}^3 \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <font color="red">Gravitational Potential Energy:</font> From our discussion of the [[VE#Scalar_Virial_Theorem|scalar virial theorem]] — see, specifically, the reference to Equation (18), on p. 18 of [<b>[[Appendix/References#EFE|<font color="red">EFE</font>]]</b>] — the gravitational potential energy is given by the expression, <div align="center"> <math> W_\mathrm{grav} = -
