Foundation
In an accompanying discussion, we derived the so-called,
whose solution gives eigenfunctions that describe various radial modes of oscillation in spherically symmetric, self-gravitating fluid configurations.
|
Introducing the dimensionless frequency-squared, , we can rewrite this LAWE as,
where, as a reminder, . Now, for our bipolytrope, we have found it useful to adopt the following four dimensionless variables:
This means that,
Making these substitutions, the LAWE can be rewritten as,
then, multiplying through by allows us to everywhere switch from to , namely,
|
In shorthand, we can rewrite this equation in the form,
|
|
|
|
where,
|
|
|
|
and |
|
|
|
and,
and,
|
|
|
|
Specific Case of (nc, ne) = (5,1)
Drawing from our "Table 2" profiles, let's evaluate and for the two separate regions of bipolytrope model.
The nc = 5 Core
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also,
|
|
|
|
Hence, the LAWE becomes,
|
|
|
|
Multiplying through by gives,
|
|
|
|
|
Let's compare this with the equivalent expression presented separately, namely, The primary E-type solution for n = 5 polytropes states that,
Hence, the LAWE may be written as,
Versus above,
|
If we set and we set , this becomes,
|
|
|
|
Next, try the solution, and :

The ne = 1 Envelope
Throughout the envelope we have,

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hence,
|
|
|
|
and,
|
|
||
|
|

|
|
|
Let's compare this with the equivalent expression presented separately, namely, The equilibrium, off-center equilibrium solution for n = 1 polytropes states that,
Hence, the LAWE may be written as,
|
Blind Alleys
Reminder
From a separate discussion, we have demonstrated that the LAWE relevant to the envelope is,
|
|
|
|
If we assume that, and , then the relevant envelope LAWE is,
|
|
|
|
where,
Also separately, we have derived the following,

First Try

|
|
and |
in which case,
|
LAWE |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now set and set :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We see that the complexity of the LAWE reduces substantially if we set ; specifically, this choice gives,
|
|
|
|
Close, but no cigar!
Second Try
Next, let's set but let's leave unspecified:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first term goes to zero if we set ; then, in order for the second term to go to zero, we need …
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This means that the envelope is incompressible.
Third Try
Let's try …
|
|
|
|
If we assume that, and , then the relevant envelope LAWE is the sum of the pair of sub-LAWEs,
