In an accompanying discussion, we derived the so-called,

Adiabatic Wave (or Radial Pulsation) Equation

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

whose solution gives eigenfunctions that describe various radial modes of oscillation in spherically symmetric, self-gravitating fluid configurations.

Introducing the dimensionless frequency-squared, ${\sigma }_c^2\equiv 3{\omega }^2/(2\pi G{\rho }_c)$, we can rewrite this LAWE as, $0$ $=$ $\frac{d^{2}x}{d{r}_0^2}+[4-(\frac{g_0}{r_0}\cdot \frac{{\rho }_0{r}_0^2}{P_0}\left)\right]\frac{1}{r_0}\cdot \frac{dx}{d{r}_0}+\left(\frac{{\rho }_0{r}_0^2}{P_0}\right)[\frac{2\pi G{\rho }_c{\sigma }_c^2}{3{\gamma }_{\mathrm{g}}}-(3-\frac{4}{{\gamma }_{\mathrm{g}}}\left)\frac{g_0}{r_0}\right]\frac{x}{r_0^2},$ where, as a reminder, $g_0\equiv GM(r_0)/r_0^2$. Now, for our $(n_c,n_e)=(5,1)$ bipolytrope, we have found it useful to adopt the following four dimensionless variables: ${\rho }^{*}$ $\equiv$ $\frac{{\rho }_0}{{\rho }_c}$ ;     $r^{*}$ $\equiv$ $\frac{r_0}{[K_c^{1/2}/(G^{1/2}{\rho }_c^{2/5})]}$ $P^{*}$ $\equiv$ $\frac{P_0}{K_c{\rho }_c^{6/5}}$ ;     $M_r^{*}$ $\equiv$ $\frac{M_r}{[K_c^{3/2}/(G^{3/2}{\rho }_c^{1/5})]}$ This means that, $\frac{g_0}{r_0}=\frac{GM(r_0)}{r_0^3}$ $=$ $G{M}_r^{*}\left[K_c^{3/2}{G}^{-3/2}{\rho }_c^{-1/5}\right]r_{*}^{-3}\left[K_c^{-3/2}{G}^{3/2}{\rho }_c^{6/5}\right]=\left[G{\rho }_c\right]M_r^{*}{r}_{*}^{-3};$ $\frac{{\rho }_0{r}_0^2}{P_0}$ $=$ ${\rho }^{*}{\rho }_c(r^{*}{)}^2[K_c{G}^{-1}{\rho }_c^{-4/5}](P^{*}{)}^{-1}\left[K_c^{-1}{\rho }_c^{-6/5}\right]=\left[G^{-1}{\rho }_c^{-1}\right]{\rho }^{*}(r^{*}{)}^2(P^{*}{)}^{-1};$ $\frac{g_0}{r_0}\cdot \frac{{\rho }_0{r}_0^2}{P_0}$ $=$ $\left[G{\rho }_c\right]M_r^{*}{r}_{*}^{-3}\cdot \left[G^{-1}{\rho }_c^{-1}\right]{\rho }^{*}(r^{*}{)}^2(P^{*}{)}^{-1}=\frac{M_r^{*}{\rho }^{*}}{P^{*}{r}^{*}}.$ Making these substitutions, the LAWE can be rewritten as, $0$ $=$ $\frac{d^{2}x}{d{r}_0^2}+[4-\frac{M_r^{*}{\rho }^{*}}{P^{*}{r}^{*}}]\frac{1}{r_0}\cdot \frac{dx}{d{r}_0}+\frac{1}{G{\rho }_c}\left[\frac{{\rho }^{*}(r^{*}{)}^2}{P^{*}}\right][\frac{2\pi G{\rho }_c{\sigma }_c^2}{3{\gamma }_{\mathrm{g}}}-(3-\frac{4}{{\gamma }_{\mathrm{g}}}\left)\frac{G{\rho }_c{M}_r^{*}}{(r^{*}{)}^3}\right]\frac{x}{r_0^2};$ then, multiplying through by $[K{G}^{-1}{\rho }_c^{-4/5}]$ allows us to everywhere switch from $(r_0{)}^2$ to $(r^{*}{)}^2$, namely, $0$ $=$ $\frac{d^{2}x}{d(r^{*}{)}^2}+[4-\frac{M_r^{*}{\rho }^{*}}{P^{*}{r}^{*}}]\frac{1}{r^{*}}\cdot \frac{dx}{d(r^{*})}+\left[\frac{{\rho }^{*}(r^{*}{)}^2}{P^{*}}\right][\frac{2\pi {\sigma }_c^2}{3{\gamma }_{\mathrm{g}}}-(3-\frac{4}{{\gamma }_{\mathrm{g}}}\left)\frac{M_r^{*}}{(r^{*}{)}^3}\right]\frac{x}{(r^{*}{)}^2}.$

In shorthand, we can rewrite this equation in the form,

$0$

$=$

$x^{″}+\frac{{\mathscr{H}}}{r^{*}}{x}^{\prime }+{𝒦}x,$

where,

$x^{\prime }$

$=$

$\frac{dx}{d{r}^{*}}$

and

$x^{″}$

$=$

$\frac{d^{2}x}{d(r^{*}{)}^2};$

and,

${𝒦}\equiv \left(\frac{{\rho }^{*}}{P^{*}}\right)\left[\right(\frac{{\sigma }_c^2}{{\gamma }_{\mathrm{g}}})\frac{2\pi }{3}-(3-\frac{4}{{\gamma }_{\mathrm{g}}}\left)\frac{M_r^{*}}{(r^{*}{)}^3}\right];$

and,

${\mathscr{H}}$

$\equiv$

$\{4-(\frac{{\rho }^{*}}{P^{*}}\left)\frac{M_r^{*}}{(r^{*})}\right\}.$

Specific Case of (n_c, n_e) = (5,1)

Drawing from our "Table 2" profiles, let's evaluate ${\mathscr{H}}$ and ${𝒦}$ for the two separate regions of bipolytrope model.

The n_c = 5 Core

${\displaystyle }$

$r^{*}=(\frac{3}{2\pi }{)}^{1/2}\xi$

$\frac{{\rho }^{*}}{P^{*}}$	$=$	$(1+\frac{{\xi }^2}{3}{)}^{-5/2}(1+\frac{{\xi }^2}{3}{)}^{6/2}=(1+\frac{{\xi }^2}{3}{)}^{1/2}$
$\frac{M^{*}}{r^{*}}$	$=$	$\left(\frac{2\cdot 3}{\pi }{)}^{1/2}\right[{\xi }^3(1+\frac{{\xi }^2}{3}{)}^{-3/2}](\frac{2\pi }{3}{)}^{1/2}{\xi }^{-1}=2{\xi }^2(1+\frac{{\xi }^2}{3}{)}^{-3/2}$
$\Rightarrow {\mathscr{H}}$	$=$	$4-2{\xi }^2(1+\frac{{\xi }^2}{3}{)}^{-3/2}(1+\frac{{\xi }^2}{3}{)}^{1/2}=4-2{\xi }^2(1+\frac{{\xi }^2}{3}{)}^{-1}.$

Also,

$\Rightarrow {𝒦}$

$=$

$(1+\frac{{\xi }^2}{3}{)}^{1/2}\{\left(\frac{{\sigma }_c^2}{{\gamma }_{\mathrm{g}}}\right)\frac{2\pi }{3}-(3-\frac{4}{{\gamma }_{\mathrm{g}}})2{\xi }^2(1+\frac{{\xi }^2}{3}{)}^{-3/2}(\frac{2\pi }{3}\left){\xi }^{-2}\right\}=\frac{2\pi }{3}(1+\frac{{\xi }^2}{3}{)}^{1/2}\{\left(\frac{{\sigma }_c^2}{{\gamma }_{\mathrm{g}}}\right)-2(3-\frac{4}{{\gamma }_{\mathrm{g}}})(1+\frac{{\xi }^2}{3}{)}^{-3/2}\}$

Hence, the LAWE becomes,

$0$

$=$

$\left[\frac{2\pi }{3}{\xi }^{-2}\right]\frac{d^{2}x}{d{\xi }^2}+\left[{\mathscr{H}}\right]\frac{2\pi }{3}{\xi }^{-1}\frac{dx}{d\xi }+\frac{2\pi }{3}(1+\frac{{\xi }^2}{3}{)}^{1/2}\{\left(\frac{{\sigma }_c^2}{{\gamma }_{\mathrm{g}}}\right)-2(3-\frac{4}{{\gamma }_{\mathrm{g}}})(1+\frac{{\xi }^2}{3}{)}^{-3/2}\}x,$
