__FORCETOC__ =BiPolytrope with (n<sub>c</sub>, n<sub>e</sub>) = (3/2, 3)= <table border="1" align="center" width="100%" colspan="8"> <tr> <td align="center" bgcolor="lightblue" width="33%"><br />[[SSC/Structure/BiPolytropes/Analytic1.53|Part I: Milne's (1930) EOS]] </td> <td align="center" bgcolor="lightblue" width="33%"><br />[[SSC/Structure/BiPolytropes/Analytic1.53/Pt2|Part II: Point-Source Model]] </td> <td align="center" bgcolor="lightblue"><br />[[SSC/Structure/BiPolytropes/Analytic1.53/Pt3|Part III: Our Derivation]] </td> </tr> </table> {| class="PGEclass" style="float:left; margin-right: 20px; border-style: solid; border-width: 3px border-color: black" |- ! style="height: 125px; width: 125px; background-color:white;" | <font size="-1">[[H_BookTiledMenu#MoreModels|<b>Milne</b>]]<br /> (1930)</font> |} Here we lay out the procedure for constructing a [[SSC/Structure/BiPolytropes#BiPolytropes|bipolytrope]] in which the core has an <math>~n_c=\tfrac{3}{2}</math> polytropic index and the envelope has an <math>~n_e=3</math> polytropic index. We will build our discussion around the work of {{ Milne30full }} who, as we shall see, justified these two indexes on physical grounds. While this system cannot be described by closed-form, analytic expressions, it is of particular interest because — as far as we have been able to determine — its examination by Milne represents the first "composite polytrope" to be discussed in the astrophysics literature. In deriving the properties of this model, we will follow the [[SSC/Structure/BiPolytropes#Solution_Steps|general solution steps for constructing a bipolytrope]] that are outlined in a separate chapter of this H_Book. That group of general solution steps was drawn largely from chapter IV, §28 of Chandrasekhar's book titled, "An Introduction to the Study of Stellar Structure" [[Appendix/References#C67|[<b><font color="red">C67</font></b>]]]. At the end of that chapter (specifically, p. 182), Chandrasekhar acknowledges that "[Milne's] method is largely used in § 28." It seems fitting, therefore, that we highlight the features of the ''specific'' bipolytropic configuration that {{ Milne30 }} chose to build. ==Milne's (1930) Choice of Equations of State== As has been detailed in our [[SR#Equation_of_State|introductory discussion of analytically expressible equations of state]] and as is summarized in the following table, often the total gas pressure can be expressed as the sum of three separate components: a component of ideal gas pressure, a component of radiation pressure, and a component due to a degenerate electron gas. As a result, the total pressure is given by the expression, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~P</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~P_\mathrm{gas} + P_\mathrm{deg} + P_\mathrm{rad} \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <table width="95%" align="center" border=1 cellpadding=5> <tr> <td align="center" width="25%"><font color="darkblue">Ideal Gas</font></td> <td align="center"><font color="darkblue">Degenerate Electron Gas</font></td> <td align="center" width="25%"><font color="darkblue">Radiation</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> {{Math/EQ_EOSideal0A}} </td> <td align="center"> {{Math/EQ_ZTFG01}} </td> <td align="center"> {{Math/EQ_EOSradiation01}} </td> </tr> </table> <span id="BetaDefinition">With this construction</span> in mind, {{ Milne30 }} also introduced the parameter, <math>~\beta</math>, to define the ratio of gas pressure (meaning, ideal-gas plus degeneracy pressure) to total pressure, that is, <div align="center"> <math>\beta \equiv \frac{P_\mathrm{gas} + P_\mathrm{deg}}{P} \, ,</math> </div> in which case, also, <div align="center"> <math>\frac{P_\mathrm{rad}}{P} = 1-\beta </math> and <math>\frac{P_\mathrm{gas} + P_\mathrm{deg}}{P_\mathrm{rad}} = \frac{\beta}{1-\beta} \, .</math> </div> (We also have referenced this [[SR#The_Parameter.2C_.CE.B2|parameter, β]], in the context of a broader discussion of equations of state and modeling [[SR#Time-Dependent_Problems|time-dependent flows]].) ===Envelope=== Now, inside the ''envelope'' of his composite polytrope, {{ Milne30 }} considered that the effects of electron degeneracy pressure could be ignored and, accordingly, employed throughout the envelope the expression, <div align="center"> <math>\frac{P_\mathrm{gas}}{P_\mathrm{rad}} \biggr|_\mathrm{env} = \frac{\beta}{1-\beta} \, , </math> </div> or (see Milne's equation 24), <div align="center"> <math>\biggl( \frac{\mathfrak{\Re}}{\mu_e}\biggr) \rho = \frac{1}{3}a_\mathrm{rad}T^3 \biggl( \frac{\beta}{1-\beta} \biggr) \, .</math> </div> If the parameter, <math>~\beta</math>, is constant throughout the envelope — which Milne assumes — then this last expression can be interpreted as defining a <math>~T(\rho)</math> function throughout the envelope of the form, <div align="center"> <math>T = \biggl[ \biggl( \frac{\Re}{\mu_e}\biggr) \biggl(\frac{1-\beta}{\beta}\biggr) \frac{3}{a_\mathrm{rad}} \biggr]^{1/3} \rho^{1/3} \, .</math> </div> Now, returning to the definition of <math>~\beta</math> while ignoring the effects of degeneracy pressure, we recognize that the total pressure in the envelope can be written in the form of a ''modified'' ideal gas relation, namely, <div align="center"> <math>~\beta P = P_\mathrm{gas} + \cancelto{0}{P_\mathrm{deg}} = \biggl(\frac{\Re}{\mu_e}\biggr) \rho T \, ,</math> </div> with the ''specific'' <math>~T(\rho)</math> behavior just derived. This allows us to write the envelope's total pressure as, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~P</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{1}{\beta}\biggl(\frac{\Re}{\mu_e}\biggr) \rho \biggl[ \biggl( \frac{\Re}{\mu_e}\biggr) \biggl(\frac{1-\beta}{\beta}\biggr) \frac{3}{a_\mathrm{rad}} \biggr]^{1/3} \rho^{1/3}</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ \biggl[ \biggl( \frac{\Re}{\mu_e}\biggr)^4 \biggl(\frac{1-\beta}{\beta^4}\biggr) \frac{3}{a_\mathrm{rad}} \biggr]^{1/3} \rho^{1 + 1/3} \, ,</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> which can be immediately associated with a polytropic relation of the form, <div align="center"> <math>~P = K_e \rho^{1 + 1/n_e} \, ,</math> </div> with, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~n_e</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~3 \, ,</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~K_e</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\biggl[ \biggl( \frac{\Re}{\mu_e}\biggr)^4 \biggl(\frac{1-\beta}{\beta^4}\biggr) \frac{3}{a_\mathrm{rad}} \biggr]^{1/3} \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> So, from the solution, <math>~\phi(\eta)</math>, to the Lane-Emden equation of index <math>~n=3</math>, we will be able to determine that, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\rho</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\rho_e \phi^3 \, ,</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> and, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~r</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~a_3 \eta \, ,</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> where — see our [[SSC/Structure/Polytropes#Lane-Emden_Equation|general introduction to the Lane-Emden equation]] — <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~a_3^2</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\biggl( \frac{K_e}{\pi G}\biggr) \rho_e^{-2/3} \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> This is the envelope structure that will be incorporated into our derivation of the bipolytrope's properties, below. In contrast to this approach, {{ Milne30 }} chose to relate the solution to the envelope's <math>~n=3</math> Lane-Emden equation directly to the temperature via the expression, <div align="center"> <math>T = \lambda \phi \, ,</math> </div> and deduced that the corresponding radial scale-factor is (see Milne's equation 27), <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~a^2_\mathrm{Milne}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{1}{\lambda^2} \biggl(\frac{\Re}{\mu_e}\biggr)^{2} \frac{(1-\beta)}{\beta^2} \biggl(\frac{3}{\pi a_\mathrm{rad}G}\biggr)\, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> In order to demonstrate the relationship between our radial scale-factor <math>~(a_3)</math> and Milne's, we note that, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\phi^3</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\biggl(\frac{T}{\lambda}\biggr)^3 = \frac{\rho}{\rho_e}</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\Rightarrow~~~~~\lambda^3</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\rho_e \biggl(\frac{T^3}{\rho}\biggr)</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\rho_e \biggl[ \biggl( \frac{\Re}{\mu_e}\biggr) \biggl(\frac{1-\beta}{\beta}\biggr) \frac{3}{a_\mathrm{rad}} \biggr]</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\Rightarrow~~~~~\lambda^{-2}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\rho_e^{-2/3} \biggl[ \biggl( \frac{\Re}{\mu_e}\biggr) \biggl(\frac{1-\beta}{\beta}\biggr) \frac{3}{a_\mathrm{rad}} \biggr]^{-2/3} \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Hence, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~a^2_\mathrm{Milne}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\rho_e^{-2/3} \biggl[ \biggl( \frac{\Re}{\mu_e}\biggr) \biggl(\frac{1-\beta}{\beta}\biggr) \frac{3}{a_\mathrm{rad}} \biggr]^{-2/3}\biggl(\frac{\Re}{\mu_e}\biggr)^{2} \frac{(1-\beta)}{\beta^2} \biggl(\frac{3}{\pi a_\mathrm{rad}G}\biggr)</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\rho_e^{-2/3} \biggl( \frac{1}{\pi G} \biggr) \biggl[ \biggl(\frac{\Re}{\mu_e}\biggr)^{4} \frac{(1-\beta)}{\beta^{4}} \biggl(\frac{3}{a_\mathrm{rad}}\biggr) \biggr]^{1/3}</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\rho_e^{-2/3} \biggl( \frac{K_e}{\pi G} \biggr) \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> It is clear, therefore, that the two radial scale-factors are the same. In preparation for our [[SSC/Structure/BiPolytropes/Analytic1.53/Pt3#Step_8:_Throughout_the_envelope_(ηi_≤_η_≤_ξs)|further discussion of the structure of this bipolytrope's envelope, below]], it is useful to highlight the following two expressions that have been developed here in the process of showing the correspondence between our work and that of Milne: <div align="center" id="HighlightedExpressions"> <table border="1" cellpadding="5" align="center" width="50%"> <tr><td align="center">A Pair of Highlighted Relations</td></tr> <tr><td align="center"> <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\rho_e</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\lambda^3 \biggl[ \biggl( \frac{\Re}{\mu_e}\biggr) \biggl(\frac{1-\beta}{\beta}\biggr) \frac{3}{a_\mathrm{rad}} \biggr]^{-1}</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\lambda^3 \biggl[ \biggl( \frac{\Re}{\mu_e}\biggr)^{-1} \frac{\beta}{(1-\beta)} \cdot \frac{1}{3} a_\mathrm{rad} \biggr]</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~K_e</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\biggl[ \biggl( \frac{\Re}{\mu_e}\biggr)^4 \biggl(\frac{1-\beta}{\beta^4}\biggr) \frac{3}{a_\mathrm{rad}} \biggr]^{1/3} </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </td></tr> </table> </div> ===Core=== In contrast to the envelope, {{ Milne30 }} assumed that the (non-relativistic; "NR") electron degeneracy pressure dominates over the ideal-gas pressure in the core. That is, he assumed that, throughout the core of his composite polytropic configuration, <div align="center"> <math>~\beta P = \cancelto{0}{P_\mathrm{gas}} + P_\mathrm{deg}\biggr|_\mathrm{NR} \,.</math> </div> As we have [[SR#Nonrelativistic_ZTF_Gas|demonstrated elsewhere]], the non-relativistic expression for the degeneracy pressure is, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~P_\mathrm{deg}\biggr|_\mathrm{NR}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{1}{2^2 \cdot 5}\biggl( \frac{3}{\pi} \biggr)^{2/3} \biggl( \frac{h^2}{m_e} \biggr) \biggl[ \frac{\rho}{(\mu_{e^-}) m_p}\biggr]^{5/3} \, ,</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> which can be associated with a polytropic relation of the form, <div align="center"> <math>~P_\mathrm{deg}\biggr|_\mathrm{NR} = K_c \rho^{1 + 1/n_c} \, ,</math> </div> that is, a total pressure of the form, <div align="center"> <math>~\beta P = K_c \rho^{1 + 1/n_c} \, ,</math> </div> with, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~n_c</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{3}{2} \, ,</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~K_c</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{1}{2^2 \cdot 5}\biggl( \frac{3}{\pi} \biggr)^{2/3} \biggl( \frac{h^2}{m_e} \biggr) \biggl[ \frac{1}{(\mu_{e^-}) m_p}\biggr]^{5/3} \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> (Note that, here only, we have used the parameter, <math>\mu_{e^-}</math>, to denote the molecular weight of electrons, instead of just <math>\mu_e</math>, in order not to confuse it with the mean molecular weight assigned to the envelope material.) So, from the solution, <math>\theta(\xi)</math>, to the Lane-Emden equation of index <math>n=\tfrac{3}{2}</math>, we will be able to determine that, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\rho</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\rho_0 \theta^{3/2} \, ,</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> and, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~r</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~a_{3/2} \xi \, ,</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> where — see our [[SSC/Structure/Polytropes#Lane-Emden_Equation|general introduction to the Lane-Emden equation]] — <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~(a_{3/2})^2</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\biggl( \frac{5K_c}{2^3\pi G}\biggr) \rho_0^{-1/3} \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> This is the [[SSC/Structure/BiPolytropes/Analytic1.53/Pt3#Step_4:_Throughout_the_core_(0_≤_ξ_≤_ξi)|core structure that will be incorporated into our derivation]] of the bipolytrope's properties. This is precisely the approach taken by {{ Milne30 }}. Just before his equation (43), Milne states that, "the equation of state when the electrons alone are degenerate can be shown" to be, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~p</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{1}{5}\biggl( \frac{3}{4\pi}\biggr)^{2/3} \frac{h^2}{(2m_H)^{5/3} m_e q_e^{2/3} }~ \rho^{5/3} \, ,</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> which, upon regrouping terms gives, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~p</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{1}{5}\biggl( \frac{3}{\pi}\biggr)^{2/3}\biggl( \frac{1}{2^4 q_e^2 }\biggr)^{1/3} \frac{h^2}{m_e }\biggl( \frac{\rho}{2 m_H} \biggr)^{5/3} \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Recognizing that Milne set <math>~q_e = 2</math>, as "the statistical weight of an electron," and that he adopted a molecular weight of the electrons, <math>\mu_{e^-}=2</math>, this expression for the equation of state exactly matches our expression for <math>P_\mathrm{deg}|_\mathrm{NR}</math>. Our enlistment of an <math>n_c = \tfrac{3}{2}</math> polytropic equation of state for the core is therefore also perfectly aligned with Milne's treatment of the core; in particular, according to Milne, at each radial location throughout the core the total pressure can be obtained from the expression, <div align="center"> <math>P = \frac{K}{\beta} ~\rho^{5/3} \, ,</math> </div> with Milne's coefficient, <math>K</math>, having the same definition as our coefficient, <math>K_c</math>. =See Also= <ul> <li>[https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1944ApJ...100..343H/abstract M.
