How Does Stability Change with γ_g?

Isolated Uniform-Density Configuration

From our separate discussion, the relevant LAWE is,

$\frac{1}{(1-{\chi }_0^2)}\{(1-{\chi }_0^2)\frac{d^{2}x}{d{\chi }_0^2}+\frac{4}{{\chi }_0}[1-\frac{3}{2}{\chi }_0^2]\frac{dx}{d{\chi }_0}+\frac{1}{{\gamma }_{\mathrm{g}}}[\frac{3{\omega }^2}{2\pi G\overline{\rho }}+2(4-3{\gamma }_{\mathrm{g}})\left]x\right\}$

$=$

$0,$

where, ${\chi }_0\equiv r_0/R$, and the two relevant boundary conditions are,

$\frac{dx}{d{\chi }_0}=0$        at         ${\chi }_0=0;$

and,

$\frac{d\ln x}{d{\chi }_0}$

$=$

$\frac{1}{{\gamma }_g}(4-3{\gamma }_g+\frac{{\omega }^2}{4\pi G\overline{\rho }})$        at         ${\chi }_0=1.$

From the general solution derived by 📚 T. E. Sterne (1937, MNRAS, Vol. 97, pp. 582 - 593), we have …

The first few solutions are displayed in the following boxed-in image that has been extracted directly from §2 (p. 587) of 📚 Sterne (1937); to the right of his table, we have added a column that expressly records the value of the square of the normalized eigenfrequency that corresponds to each of the solutions presented by Sterne37.
