==Additional, Numerically Constructed Polytropic Configurations==
As has been detailed in an [[SSC/Structure/Polytropes#Polytropic_Spheres|accompanying chapter]], using numerical techniques we have solved the Lane-Emden equation, and thereby discerned the internal structural profiles, for polytropes having a wide variety of polytropic indexes.  The righthand panel of Figure 3 presents a diagram in which the mass-radius "sequences" corresponding to eight different polytropic indexes have been drawn.

==Turning Points==

===Limiting Pressure Along M<sub>1</sub> Sequence===
As is illustrated in the figures presented above, when an equilibrium sequence is constructed for any bounded (pressure-truncated) configuration having <math>~n > 3</math>, the sequence exhibits multiple "turning points."  For example, when moving along the R-P sequence [[SSC/Structure/PolytropesEmbedded#WhitworthFig1b|displayed in Figure 1]] for <math>~n=5</math> configurations, the external pressure monotonically climbs to a maximum value, <math>~P_\mathrm{max}</math>, then "turns around" and steadily decreases thereafter.  [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1970MNRAS.151...81H Horedt (1970)] and [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1981PASJ...33..299K Kimura (1981b)] separately derived an expression that pinpoints the location of the  <math>~P_\mathrm{max}</math> turning point along an R-P sequence &#8212; Kimura refers to this as an "M<sub>1</sub> sequence" because the configuration's mass is held fixed while the external pressure and the system's corresponding equilibrium radius is varied.  The turning point is located along the sequence at the point where,

In what follows, we examine the expressions derived by both authors in order to show that they are identical to one another as well as to re-express the result in a form that conforms to our own adopted notation.

====Horedt's Derivation====

Appreciating that Horedt's notation for the surface pressure of an equilibrium configuration &#8212; which equals the applied external pressure <math>~P_e</math> &#8212; is <math>~\tilde{p}</math>, and his notation for <math>~R_\mathrm{eq}</math> is <math>~\tilde{r}</math>, the requisite expression from Horedt's paper [see also equation (13) in [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1974A%26A....33..195V Viala &amp; Horedt (1974)]] is the one displayed in the following boxed image:

====Kimura's Derivation====

Appreciating that Kimura uses the subscript "1," rather than a tilde, to identify equilibrium parameter values, the requisite expression is equation (22) from [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1981PASJ...33..299K Kimura's "Paper II,"] as displayed in the following boxed image:

</tr>

Appreciating that <math>~f^' = [(n+1)\tilde\theta^n \tilde\theta^']</math>, we see that the expression inside the curly braces here matches exactly the expression inside the curly braces that was obtained through Horedt's derivation, as it should!  The prefactor is different in the two expressions only because Kimura's result is for a logarithmic derivative whereas Horedt's derivation is not; the ratio of the two prefactors is, simply, the ratio,

</div>

In a [[SSC/Virial/PolytropesEmbedded/SecondEffortAgain#KimuraApplication|separate discussion]], specifically focused on the <math>~n=5</math> mass-radius relationship, we show how Kimura's analysis of turning points can be usefully applied.

====Location of Pressure Limit====

Now we can identify the location along the M<sub>1</sub> sequence where the turning point set by <math>~P_\mathrm{max}</math> occurs by setting the numerator of this expression equal to zero, specifically,
<div align="center">
<table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="5">

  <td align="right">

  </td>
  <td align="left">
<math>~
0 \, .
</math>
  </td>

This means that the equilibrium model that sits at the <math>~P_\mathrm{max}</math> turning point will have,

===Other Limits===

In a similar fashion, [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1981PASJ...33..299K Kimura (1981b)] derived mathematical expressions that identify the location of other turning points along equilibrium sequences of bounded polytropic configurations.  An M<sub>1</sub> sequence &#8212; as displayed, for example, in the set of P-R diagrams shown in [[SSC/Structure/PolytropesEmbedded#WhitworthFig1b|Figure 1, above]] &#8212; exhibits not only an "extremal of p<sub>1</sub>" but also an "extremal of r<sub>1</sub>."  As we have [[SSC/Structure/PolytropesEmbedded#Location_of_Pressure_Limit|just reviewed]], the first of these is identified by setting <math>~(d\ln p_1/d\ln r_1)_{M} = 0</math> or, using Kimura's more compact terminology, the first occurs at a location that satisfies the condition, 
<div align="center">
<math>h_G = 0 \, ,</math> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
that is, where &hellip; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<math>~\tilde\theta^{n+1} (\tilde\theta^')^{-2} = (n-3)/2 \, .</math>
</div>
Similarly, Kimura points out that an "extremal in r<sub>1</sub>" along an M<sub>1</sub> sequence occurs at a location that satisfies the condition,
<div align="center">
<math>k_G = 0 \, ,</math> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
that is, where &hellip; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<math>~\tilde\xi \tilde\theta^{n} (-\tilde\theta^')^{-1} = (n-3)/(n-1) \, .</math>
</div>

As is illustrated by the plots presented in [[SSC/Structure/PolytropesEmbedded#Stahler1983Fig17|Figure 2, above]], turning points also arise in the mass-radius relationship of bounded polytropic configurations having <math>~n > 3</math>.  These are identified by Kimura as "p<sub>1</sub> sequences" because the external pressure is held fixed while the system's mass and corresponding equilibrium radius is varied.  In &sect;5 of his [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1981PASJ...33..299K "Paper II,"] Kimura points out that the same two conditions &#8212; namely, <math>~h_G = 0</math> and <math>~k_G = 0</math> &#8212; also identify the location of extrema in M<sub>1</sub> along, respectively, p<sub>1</sub> sequences and r<sub>1</sub> sequences.


We can also identify extrema in r<sub>1</sub> along p<sub>1</sub> sequences by setting <math>~(\dot{p}_1/p_1) = 0</math> in [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1981PASJ...33..299K Kimura's] equation (17), then substituting the resulting expression for the function <math>~Z</math>, namely,
<div align="center">
<math>~Z = v_1 \, ,</math>
</div>
into his equations (15) and (16).  The ratio of these two resulting expressions gives,
