Adiabatic Wave (or Radial Pulsation) Equation

$\frac{d^{2}x}{d{r}_0^2}+[\frac{4}{r_0}-(\frac{g_0{\rho }_0}{P_0}\left)\right]\frac{dx}{d{r}_0}+\left(\frac{{\rho }_0}{{\gamma }_{\mathrm{g}}{P}_0}\right)[{\omega }^2+(4-3{\gamma }_{\mathrm{g}})\frac{g_0}{r_0}]x=0$

may also be written as …

$0$

$=$

$\frac{d^{2}x}{d(r^{*}{)}^2}+[4-\frac{M_r^{*}{\rho }^{*}}{P^{*}{r}^{*}}]\frac{1}{r^{*}}\cdot \frac{dx}{d(r^{*})}+\left[\frac{{\rho }^{*}(r^{*}{)}^2}{P^{*}}\right][\frac{2\pi {\sigma }_c^2}{3{\gamma }_{\mathrm{g}}}-(3-\frac{4}{{\gamma }_{\mathrm{g}}}\left)\frac{M_r^{*}}{(r^{*}{)}^3}\right]\frac{x}{(r^{*}{)}^2}.$
