====Primary E-Type Solution==== To derive the radial distribution of the Lane-Emden function <math>\Theta_H(r)</math> for an {{Math/MP_PolytropicIndex}} = 5 polytrope, we must solve, <div align="center"> <math>\frac{1}{\xi^2} \frac{d}{d\xi}\biggl( \xi^2 \frac{d\Theta_H}{d\xi} \biggr) = - (\Theta_H)^5</math> , </div> subject to the above-specified [[SSC/Structure/Polytropes#Boundary_Conditions|boundary conditions]]. Following [https://books.google.com/books?id=MiDQAAAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=true Emden (1907)], [[Appendix/References#C67|[<font color="red">C67</font>] ]] (pp. 93-94) shows that by making the substitutions, <div align="center"> <math> \xi = \frac{1}{x} = e^{-t} \, ; ~~~~~\Theta_H = \biggl(\frac{x}{2}\biggr)^{1/2} z = \biggl(\frac{1}{2}e^t\biggr)^{1/2}z \, , </math> </div> the differential equation can be rewritten as, <div align="center"> <math> \frac{d^2 z}{dt^2} = \frac{1}{4}z (1 - z^4) \, . </math> </div> This equation has the solution, <div align="center"> <math> z = \pm \biggl[ \frac{12 C e^{-2t}}{(1 + C e^{-2t})^2} \biggr]^{1/4} \, , </math> </div> that is, <div align="center"> <math> \Theta_H = \biggl[ \frac{3 C }{(1 + C \xi^2)^2} \biggr]^{1/4} \, . </math> </div> where <math>C</math> is an integration constant. Because <math>\Theta_H</math> must go to unity when <math>\xi = 0</math>, we see that <math>C=1/3</math>. Hence, <div align="center"> <math> \Theta_H = \biggl[ 1 + \frac{1}{3}\xi^2 \biggr]^{-1/2} \, . </math> </div> From this Lane-Emden function solution, we obtain, <div align="center"> <math> \frac{\rho}{\rho_c} = \Theta_H^5 = \biggl[ 1 + \frac{1}{3}\xi^2 \biggr]^{-5/2} \, , </math> </div> and, <div align="center"> <math> \frac{P}{P_c} = \biggr(\frac{\rho}{\rho_c}\biggr)^{6/5} = \biggl[ 1 + \frac{1}{3}\xi^2 \biggr]^{-3} \, . </math> </div> Notice that, for this polytropic structure, the density and pressure don't go to zero until <math>\xi \rightarrow \infty</math>. Hence, <math>\xi_1 = \infty</math>. However, the radial scale length, <div align="center"> <math> a_5 = \biggr[ \frac{1}{4\pi G} \biggl( \frac{H_c}{\rho_c} \biggr) \biggr]^{1/2} = \biggr[ \frac{(n+1)K}{4\pi G} \rho_c^{(1/n - 1)} \biggr]^{1/2} = \biggr[ \frac{3K}{2\pi G} \biggr]^{1/2} \rho_c^{-2/5} \, . </math> </div> Hence, <div align="center"> <table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> M_r(\xi) </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> 4\pi \rho_c a_5^3 \int_0^\xi \xi^2 \biggl[ 1 + \frac{1}{3}\xi^2 \biggr]^{-5/2} d\xi </math> </td> <td rowspan="3"> [[Image:WolframN5polytropeMass.jpg|border|240px|right]] </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> 4\pi \biggr[ \frac{3K}{2\pi G} \biggr]^{3/2} \rho_c^{-1/5} ~\biggl\{ \frac{\sqrt{3} \xi^3}{(3 + \xi^2)^{3/2}} \biggr\} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \biggr[ \frac{2\cdot 3^4 K^3}{\pi G^3} \biggr]^{1/2} \rho_c^{-1/5} ~\{ \xi^3 ( 3 + \xi^2 )^{-3/2} \} \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <table border="1" align="center" width="80%" cellpadding="5"><tr><td align="left" bgcolor="lightgreen"> <div align="center">'''n = 5 Polytrope'''</div> Let's verify the expression for the pressure by integrating the hydrostatic-balance equation, <div align="center"> {{Math/EQ_SShydrostaticBalance01}} </div> From our [[SSC/Structure/Polytropes|introductory discussion]] of the <div align="center"> <span id="LaneEmdenEquation"><font color="#770000">'''Lane-Emden Equation'''</font></span> <br /> {{Math/EQ_SSLaneEmden01}} </div> we appreciate that, for a <math>n=5</math> polytrope, <div align="center"> <math> \rho = \rho_c \Theta_H^5 = \rho_c \biggl( 1 + \frac{1}{3}\xi^2 \biggr)^{-5/2} \, , </math> </div> and, <div align="center"> <math> r = \biggl( \frac{3K_5}{2\pi G}\biggr)^{1 / 2}\rho_c^{-2/5} \xi </math>. </div> Combining these expressions with our above-derived expression for <math>M_r</math>, namely, <table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> ~M_r(\xi) </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \biggr( \frac{2\cdot 3^4 K^3}{\pi G^3} \biggr)^{1/2} \rho_c^{-1/5} ~\{ \xi^3 ( 3 + \xi^2 )^{-3/2} \} \, , </math> </td> </tr> </table> the RHS of the hydrostatic-balance relation can be written as, <table align="center" cellpadding="8"> <tr> <td align="right"><math>\mathrm{RHS} = - G \biggl[M_r\biggr]~\biggl[\rho\biggr]~\biggl[ r \biggr]^{-2}</math></td> <td align="center"><math>=</math></td> <td align="left"> <math> - G \biggl[\biggr( \frac{2\cdot 3^4 K^3}{\pi G^3} \biggr)^{1/2} \rho_c^{-1/5} ~\{ \xi^3 ( 3 + \xi^2 )^{-3/2} \}\biggr] ~\biggl[ \rho_c \biggl( 1 + \frac{1}{3}\xi^2 \biggr)^{-5/2} \biggr] ~\biggl[ \biggl( \frac{3K_5}{2\pi G}\biggr)^{1 / 2}\rho_c^{-2/5} \xi \biggr]^{-2} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"><math>=</math></td> <td align="left"> <math> - G ~3^{5/2}\biggr( \frac{2\cdot 3^4 K^3}{\pi G^3} \biggr)^{1/2} \rho_c^{-1/5} \rho_c \biggl[ \biggl( \frac{2\pi G}{3K_5}\biggr)\rho_c^{4/5} \biggr] \biggl[~ \xi ( 3 + \xi^2 )^{-4} \biggr] </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"><math>=</math></td> <td align="left"> <math> - ~\biggr( 2^3\cdot 3^7\pi \cdot G K \biggr)^{1/2} \rho_c^{8/5} \biggl[~ \xi ( 3 + \xi^2 )^{-4} \biggr] </math> </td> </tr> </table> Now, let's integrate the hydrostatic-balance equation: <table align="center" cellpadding="8"> <tr> <td align="right"><math>\int_{P_c}^{P}dP</math></td> <td align="center"><math>=</math></td> <td align="left"> <math> - ~\biggr( 2^3\cdot 3^7\pi \cdot G K \biggr)^{1/2} \rho_c^{8/5} \biggl( \frac{3K_5}{2\pi G}\biggr)^{1 / 2}\rho_c^{-2/5} \int_0^\xi \biggl[~ \xi ( 3 + \xi^2 )^{-4} \biggr] d\xi </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"><math>\Rightarrow ~~~ P - P_c</math></td> <td align="center"><math>=</math></td> <td align="left"> <math> 2\cdot 3^4 \cdot K \rho_c^{6/5} \biggl\{ \frac{1}{ 6(3+\xi^2)^3 } \biggr\}_0^\xi </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"><math>\Rightarrow ~~~ P </math></td> <td align="center"><math>=</math></td> <td align="left"> <math> P_c + 3^3 \cdot K \rho_c^{6/5} \biggl[ \frac{1}{ (3+\xi^2)^3 } -\frac{1}{ (3)^3 } \biggr] </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"><math>=</math></td> <td align="left"> <math> P_c + K \rho_c^{6/5} \biggl[(1+\xi^2/3)^{-3} -1 \biggr] </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"><math>=</math></td> <td align="left"> <math> P_c \biggl(1+\frac{\xi^2}{3} \biggr)^{-3} \, , </math> </td> </tr> </table> where, <math>P_c = K\rho_c^{6/5}</math>. </td></tr></table> The function of <math>\xi</math> inside the curly brackets of this last expression goes to unity as <math>\xi \rightarrow \infty</math>, so the integrated mass is finite even though the configuration extends to infinity.
