===Presentation=== {{ VH74full }} have provided analytic expressions for the gravitational potential energy and the internal energy — which they tag with the variable names, <math>~\Omega</math> and <math>~U</math>, respectively — that we can adopt in our effort to quantify the key structural form factors in the context of pressure-truncated polytropic spheres. [The same expression for <math>~\Omega</math> is also effectively provided in §1 of [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1970MNRAS.151...81H Horedt (1970)] through the definition of his coefficient, "A" (polytropic case).] <div align="center"> <table border="1" align="center" cellpadding="8" width="90%"> <tr><td align="center"> <!-- [[Image:VialaHoredt1974.png|500px|center]] Astronomy & Astrophysics, 33: 195-202, (1974)<br /> POLYTROPIC SHEETS, CYLINDERS AND SPHERES WITH NEGATIVE INDEX<br /> Y.

As its title indicates, the paper includes discussion of — and accompanying equation derivations for — equilibrium self-gravitating, pressure-truncated, polytropic configurations having several different geometries: planar sheets, axisymmetric cylinders, and spheres. We have extracted derived expressions for the gravitational potential energy, <math>\Omega</math>, and the internal energy, <math>U</math>, that apply to spherically symmetric configurations only. These authors also consider negative polytropic indexes; we are considering only values in the range, <math>0 \le n \le \infty</math>, so, as the accompanying parenthetical note indicates, when either <math>\pm</math> or <math>\mp</math> appears in an expression, we will pay attention only to the ''superior'' sign. </td> </tr> </table> </div> Rewriting these two expressions to accommodate our parameter notations — recognizing, specifically, that <math>\alpha</math> is the [[SSC/Structure/Polytropes#Lane-Emden_Equation|familiar polytropic length scale]] (<math>a_n</math>; [[#Renormalization|expression provided below]]), <math>\rho_0</math> is the central density <math>(\rho_c)</math>, and <math>(\gamma - 1) = 1/n</math> — we have from {{ VH74 }}, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>\biggl[ W_\mathrm{grav} \biggr]_\mathrm{VH74}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> - \frac{(4\pi)^2}{(5-n)} \cdot G \rho_c^2 a_n^5 \biggl[\tilde\xi^3 \tilde\theta^{n+1} + 3\tilde\xi^3 (\tilde\theta^')^2 - 3(-\tilde\xi^2 \tilde\theta^')\tilde\theta \biggr] \, , </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>\biggl[ \mathfrak{S}_\mathrm{A} \biggr]_\mathrm{VH74}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \frac{n(4\pi)^2}{3(5-n)} \cdot G \rho_c^2 a_n^5 \biggl[\frac{6}{(n+1)} \cdot \tilde\xi^3 \tilde\theta^{n+1} + 3\tilde\xi^3 (\tilde\theta^')^2 - 3(-\tilde\xi^2 \tilde\theta^')\tilde\theta \biggr] \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div>
