When examining how the internal structure of such configurations varies with compressibility, or when examining the relative stability of such structures, it can be instructive to construct models using a [[SR#Time-Independent_Problems|polytropic equation of state]], <div align="center"> {{ Math/EQ_Polytrope01 }} </div> because the degree of compressibility can be adjusted by simply changing the value of the polytropic index, {{Math/MP_PolytropicIndex}}, across the range, <math>~0 \le n \le \infty</math>. (Alternatively, one can vary the effective adiabatic exponent of the gas, <math>~\Gamma = 1 + 1/n</math>.) In particular, <math>~n = 0 ~~ (\Gamma = \infty)</math> represents a ''hard'' equation of state and describes an incompressible configuration, while <math>~n = \infty ~~(\Gamma = 1)</math> represents an isothermal and extremely ''soft'' equation of state. As has been detailed in an [[SSC/Structure/Polytropes#Polytropic_Spheres|accompanying discussion]], the structural properties of spherical polytropes can be described entirely in terms of a dimensionless radial coordinate, <math>~\xi</math>, and by the radial dependence of the dimensionless enthalpy function, <math>~\theta_n(\xi)</math>, and its first radial derivative, <math>~\theta^'_n(\xi)</math>. At the center of each configuration <math>~(\xi=0)</math>, <math>~\theta_n = 1</math> and <math>~\theta^'_n = 0</math>. The surface of each [[SSC/Structure/Polytropes#Polytropic_Spheres|''isolated'' polytrope]] is identified by the radial coordinate, <math>~\xi_1</math>, at which <math>~\theta_n</math> first drops to zero. As a class, isolated polytropes exhibit three attributes that are especially key in the context of our present discussion: <!-- For example, the radial mass-density distribution and the Lagrangian mass coordinate are given, respectively, but the expressions, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\frac{\rho(\xi)}{\rho_c}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~[\theta_n(\xi)]^n \, ,</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~m_r(\xi)</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~4\pi a_n^3 \rho_c \biggl[ - \xi^2 \theta^'_n(\xi)\biggr] \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> --> <ol> <li>The equilibrium structure is dynamically stable if <math>~n < 3</math>. <li>The equilibrium structure has a finite radius if <math>~n < 5</math>. <li>The equilibrium structure can be described in terms of closed-form analytic expressions for [[SSC/Structure/Polytropes#n_.3D_0_Polytrope|<math>~n = 0</math>]], [[SSC/Structure/Polytropes#n_.3D_1_Polytrope|<math>~n = 1</math>]], and [[SSC/Structure/Polytropes#n_.3D_5_Polytrope|<math>~n = 5</math>]]. </ol> Isothermal spheres are discussed in a wide variety of astrophysical contexts because it is not uncommon for physical conditions to conspire to create an extended volume throughout which a configuration exhibits uniform temperature. But, as can be surmised from our list of three key polytrope attributes and recognition that equilibrium isothermal configurations are polytropes with index <math>~n=\infty</math>, mathematical models of [[SSC/Structure/IsothermalSphere#Isothermal_Sphere|isolated isothermal spheres]] are relatively cumbersome to analyze because they extend to infinity, they are dynamically unstable, and they are not describable in terms of analytic functions. In such astrophysical contexts, we have sometimes found it advantageous to employ an <math>~n=5</math> polytrope instead of an isothermal sphere. An [[SSC/Structure/Polytropes#n_.3D_5_Polytrope|isolated <math>~n=5</math> polytrope]] can serve as an effective surrogate for an isothermal sphere because it is both infinite in extent and dynamically unstable, but it is less cumbersome to analyze because its structure can be described by closed-form analytic expressions. ==Bonnor-Ebert Sphere== In the mid-1950s, {{ Ebert55full }} and {{ Bonnor56full }} independently realized that an equilibrium isothermal gas cloud can be constructed with a finite radius by embedding it in a hot, tenuous external medium. As has been described in an [[SSC/Structure/BonnorEbert#Pressure-Bounded_Isothermal_Sphere|accompanying chapter]], the relevant mathematical model is constructed by chopping off the ''isolated'' isothermal sphere at some finite radius — call it, <math>\xi_e</math> — and imposing an externally applied pressure, <math>P_e</math>, that is equal to the pressure of the isothermal gas at the specified edge of the truncated sphere. By varying <math>\xi_e</math>, a ''sequence'' of equilibrium models can be constructed, as illustrated in Figure 1. (See also our [[SSC/Stability/InstabilityOnsetOverview#Fig1|more extensive discussion of isothermal equilibrium sequences]].) <div align="center"> <table border="1" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="1" width="33%"> Reproduction of Figure 2 from<br />{{ Ebert55figure }} </td> <td align="center" colspan="1" width="33%"> Reproduction of Figure 1 from<br />{{ Bonnor56figure }} </td> <td align="center"> Our Construction </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> [[File:EbertFig2Title.png|200px|center|Ebert (1955) Figure 2]] </td> <td align="center"> [[File:Bonnor1956Fig1reproduced.jpg|300px|center|Bonnor (1956, MNRAS, 116, 351)]] <!-- [[Image:AAAwaiting01.png|400px|center|Bonnor (1956, MNRAS, 116, 351)]] --> </td> <td align="center"> [[File:EvolutionArrows01.png|300px|center|Bonnor (1956, MNRAS, 116, 351)]] <!-- [[Image:AAAwaiting01.png|400px|center|Bonnor (1956, MNRAS, 116, 351)]] --> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <div align="center"> <table border="1"> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="1" width="50%"> Reproduction of Figure 2 from<br />{{ Ebert55figure }} </td> <td align="center" colspan="1"> Reproduction of Figure 1 from<br />{{ Bonnor56figure }} </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> [[File:EbertFig2Title.png|250px|center|Ebert (1955) Figure 2]] </td> <td align="center"> [[File:Bonnor1956Fig1reproduced.jpg|400px|center|Bonnor (1956, MNRAS, 116, 351)]] <!-- [[Image:AAAwaiting01.png|400px|center|Bonnor (1956, MNRAS, 116, 351)]] --> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="2"> Our Analytic Analysis of n = 5 Polytropic Sequence] </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="2"> [[File:CaseMcompareTogether.png|650px|center|P vs. R n = 5 sequence]] <!-- [[Image:AAAwaiting01.png|400px|center|Bonnor (1956, MNRAS, 116, 351)]] --> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <table border="1" align="center" cellpadding="8"> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="3">Mass-Radius Relations for Pressure-Truncated Polytropes</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" rowspan="1"> Reproduction of Fig. 17 from p. 184 of<br />{{ Stahler83figure }} </td> <td align="center" colspan="2"> From Our Detailed Analyses </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> [[File:Stahler_MRdiagram1.png|350px|center|Stahler (1983)]] </td> <td align="center"> [[File:MimicStahlerPlot3.png|300px|center|M vs. R sequences for pressure-truncated polytropes]] <!-- [[Image:AAAwaiting01.png|400px|center|Bonnor (1956, MNRAS, 116, 351)]] --> </td> <td align="center"> [[File:TruncatedPolytropeMvsR2.png|300px|center|M vs. R sequences for pressure-truncated polytropes]] <!-- [[Image:AAAwaiting01.png|400px|center|Bonnor (1956, MNRAS, 116, 351)]] --> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">Schematic</td> <td align="left">Virial-equilibrium configurations, assuming uniform density.</td> <td align="left">Exact configurations.</td> </tr> </table> ==Schönberg-Chandrasekhar Mass== <div align="center"> <table border="1" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="1" width="33%"> Reproduction of Figure 1 from<br />{{ HC41figure }} </td> <td align="center" colspan="1" width="33%"> Reproduction of Figure 1 from<br />{{ SC42figure }} </td> <td align="center"> Bipolytropes with <math>~(n_c,n_e) = (5,1)</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" rowspan="1"> [[Image:HenrichChandra41b.jpg|100px|center]] <!-- [[Image:AAAwaiting01.png|200px|center]] --> </td> <td align="center" rowspan="1"> [[Image:SC42_Fig1.jpg|250px|center]] <!-- [[Image:AAAwaiting01.png|400px|center]] --> </td> <td align="center" rowspan="1"> [[File:SC_42EvolutionArrows.png|300px|center]] </td> </tr> </table> </div> <div align="center"> <table border="1" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="1" width="33%"> Reproduction of Figure 1 from<br />{{ HC41figure }} </td> <td align="center" colspan="1" width="33%"> Reproduction of Figure 1 from<br />{{ SC42figure }} </td> <td align="center"> Bipolytropes with <math>~(n_c,n_e) = (5,1)</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" rowspan="1"> [[Image:HenrichChandra41b.jpg|100px|center]] <!-- [[Image:AAAwaiting01.png|200px|center]] --> </td> <td align="center" rowspan="1"> [[Image:SC42_Fig1.jpg|200px|center]] <!-- [[Image:AAAwaiting01.png|400px|center]] --> </td> <td align="center" rowspan="1"> [[File:Qvsnu51b2.png|300px|center]] </td> </tr> </table> </div> In the early 1940s, Chandrasekhar and his colleagues — see {{ HC41full }} and {{ SC42full }}) — discovered that a star with an isothermal core will become unstable if the fractional mass of the core is above some limiting value. They discovered this by constructing models that are now commonly referred to as ''composite polytropes'' or ''bipolytropes'', that is, models in which the star's core is described by a polytropic equation of state having one index — say, <math>~n_c</math> — and the star's envelope is described by a polytropic equation of state of a different index — say, <math>~n_e</math>. In [[SSC/Structure/BiPolytropes#BiPolytropes|an accompanying discussion]] we explain in detail how the two structural components with different polytropic indexes are pieced together mathematically to build equilibrium bipolytropes. For a given choice of the two indexes, <math>~n_c</math> and <math>~n_e</math>, a sequence of models can be generated by varying the radial location at which the interface between the core and envelope occurs. As the interface location is varied, the relative amount of mass enclosed inside the core, <math>~\nu \equiv M_\mathrm{core}/M_\mathrm{tot}</math>, quite naturally varies as well. {{ HC41 }} built structures of uniform composition having an isothermal core (<math>~n_c = \infty</math>) and an <math>~n_e = 3/2</math> polytropic envelope and found that equilibrium models exist only for values of <math>~\nu \le \nu_\mathrm{max} \approx 0.35</math>. {{ SC42 }} extended this analysis to include structures in which the mean molecular weight of the gas changes discontinuously across the interface. Specifically, they used the same values of <math>~n_c</math> and <math>~n_e</math> as Henrich & Chandrasekhar, but they constructed models in which the ratio of the molecular weight in the core to the molecular weight in the envelope is <math>~\mu_c/\mu_e = 2</math>. This was done to more realistically represent stars as they evolve off the main sequence; they have inert, isothermal helium cores and envelopes that are rich in hydrogen. Note that introducing a discontinuous drop in the mean molecular weight at the core-envelope interface also introduces a discontinuous drop in the gas density across the interface. As the following excerpt from their article summarizes, in these models, {{ SC42 }} found that <math>\nu_\mathrm{max} \approx 0.101</math>. This is commonly referred to as the Schönberg-Chandrasekhar mass limit, although it was Henrich & Chandrasekhar who were the first to identify the instability. <div align="center"> <table border="1" cellpadding="5" width="80%"> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="1"> Text excerpt from p. 168 of<br />{{ SC42figure }} </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" colspan="1"> <!-- [[Image:SC42excerpt.jpg|600px|center]] --> <font color="darkgreen">"For the models with isothermal cores we have the following properties: (a) There are no equilibrium configurations with cores containing … more than 0.101 of the stellar mass …</font> [This] <font color="darkgreen">"upper limit is a decreasing function of <math>\mu_c/\mu_e</math>, since it is <math>\sim 0.35</math> for the case of equal molecular weights, as was shown by" {{ HC41 }}.</font> </td> </tr> </table> </div> In an effort to develop a more complete appreciation of the onset of the instability associated with the Schönberg-Chandrasekhar mass limit, {{ Beech88full }} matched an analytically prescribable, <math>~n_e = 1</math> polytropic envelope to an isothermal core and, like Schönberg & Chandrasekhar, allowed for a discontinuous change in the molecular weight at the interface. [For an even more comprehensive generalization and discussion, see {{ BTZ2012full }}]. Beech's results were not significantly different from those reported by {{ SC42 }}; in particular, the value of <math>\nu_\mathrm{max}</math> was still only definable numerically because an isothermal core cannot be described in terms of analytic functions. [[SSC/Structure/BiPolytropes/Analytic51#BiPolytrope_with_nc_.3D_5_and_ne_.3D_1|In an accompanying derivation]] [see, also, {{ EFC98full }}] we have gone one step farther, matching an analytically prescribable, <math>n_e = 1</math> polytropic envelope to an analytically prescribable, <math>n_c = 5</math> polytropic core. For this bipolytrope, we show that there is a limiting mass-fraction, <math>\nu_\mathrm{max}</math>, for any choice of the molecular weight ratio <math>\mu_c/\mu_e > 3</math> and that the interface location, <math>\xi_i</math>, associated with this critical configuration is given by the positive, real root of the following relation: <div align="center"> <math> \biggl(\frac{\pi}{2} + \tan^{-1} \Lambda_i\biggr) (1+\ell_i^2) [ 3 + (1-m_3)^2(2-\ell_i^2)\ell_i^2] - m_3 \ell_i [(1-m_3)\ell_i^4 - (m_3^2 - m_3 +2)\ell_i^2 - 3] = 0 \, , </math> </div> where, <div align="center"> <math> \ell_i \equiv \frac{\xi_i}{\sqrt{3}} \, ; </math> <math> m_3 \equiv 3 \biggl( \frac{\mu_c}{\mu_e} \biggr)^{-1} \, ; </math> and <math> \Lambda_i \equiv \frac{1}{m_3\ell_i} [ 1 + (1-m_3)\ell_i^2] \, . </math> </div> ==Close Binary Stars== ===Preface=== <table border="1" cellpadding="5" align="center" width="80%"> <tr> <td align="center"> Text extracted from p. 162 of <br />{{ Darwin06figure }} </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left"> <!-- [[File:DarwinPreface.png|700px|Darwin (1906) Preface]] --> <font color="darkgreen"> "More than half a century ago Édouard Roche wrote his celebrated paper on the form assumed by a liquid satellite when revolving, without relative motion, about a solid planet.<sup>*</sup> In consequence of the singular modesty of Roche's style, and also because the publication was made at Montpellier, this paper seems to have remained almost unnoticed for many years, but it has ultimately attained its due position as a classical memoir."

Verification of the calculations, which as far as I know have never been repeated, forms part of the work of the present paper.
