BiPolytrope with (nc, ne) = (5, 1)

This chapter very closely parallels our original analytic derivation — see also, 📚 P. P. Eggleton, J. Faulkner, & R. C. Cannon (1998, MNRAS, Vol. 298, issue 3, pp. 831 - 834) — of the structure of bipolytropes in which the core has an nc=5 polytropic index and the envelope has an ne=1 polytropic index. Our primary objective, here, is to renormalize the principal set of variables, replacing the central density with the configuration's total mass, so that the mass is held fixed along each model sequence.

From Table 1 of our original analytic derivation, we see that,

(μeμc)2Mtot = 𝓂surf(KcG)3/2ρ0−1/5
⇒ρ0 = {𝓂surf(KcG)3/2(μeμc)−2Mtot−1}5,

where,

𝓂surf ≡ (2π)1/2θi−1(−η2dϕdη)s=(2π)1/2Aηsθi.

Steps 2 & 3

Based on the discussion presented elsewhere of the structure of an isolated n=5 polytrope, the core of this bipolytrope will have the following properties:

θ(ξ)=[1+13ξ2]−1/2⇒θi=[1+13ξi2]−1/2;

dθdξ=−ξ3[1+13ξ2]−3/2⇒(dθdξ)i=−ξi3[1+13ξi2]−3/2.

The first zero of the function θ(ξ) and, hence, the surface of the corresponding isolated n=5 polytrope is located at ξs=∞. Hence, the interface between the core and the envelope can be positioned anywhere within the range, 0<ξi<∞.

Step 4: Throughout the core

Specify: Kc and ρ0⇒

=

[Kc3G3ρ02/5]1/2(2⋅3π)1/2[ξ3(1+13ξ2)−3/2]


Specify: Kc and Mtot⇒

ρ =

{𝓂surf(KcG)3/2(μeμc)−2Mtot−1}5(1+13ξ2)−5/2

  =

(𝓂surfMtot)5(KcG)15/2(μeμc)−10(1+13ξ2)−5/2;

P =

  =

(𝓂surfMtot)6Kc10G−9(μeμc)−12(1+13ξ2)−3;

r =

{𝓂surf(KcG)3/2(μeμc)−2Mtot−1}−2[KcG]1/2(32π)1/2ξ

  =

(𝓂surfMtot)−2(KcG)−5/2(μeμc)4(32π)1/2ξ;

Mr =

{𝓂surf(KcG)3/2(μeμc)−2Mtot−1}−1[Kc3G3]1/2(2⋅3π)1/2[ξ3(1+13ξ2)−3/2]

  =

(Mtot𝓂surf)(μeμc)2(2⋅3π)1/2[ξ3(1+13ξ2)−3/2].

 

New Normalization
ρ~ ≡ ρ[(KcG)3/21Mtot]−5;
P~ ≡ P[Kc−10G9Mtot6];
r~ ≡ r[(KcG)5/2Mtot−2],
M~r ≡ MrMtot;
H~ ≡ H[Kc−5/2G3/2Mtot].

After applying this new normalization, we have throughout the core,

ρ~ =

𝓂surf5(μeμc)−10(1+13ξ2)−5/2;

P~ =

𝓂surf6(μeμc)−12(1+13ξ2)−3;

r~ =

M~r =

𝓂surf−1(μeμc)2(2⋅3π)1/2[ξ3(1+13ξ2)−3/2].

Step 8: Throughout the envelope

Given (from above) that,

ρ0 = {𝓂surf(KcG)3/2(μeμc)−2Mtot−1}5,

we have throughout the envelope,

ρ

=

ρ0(μeμc)θi5ϕ

 

=

{𝓂surf(KcG)3/2(μeμc)−2Mtot−1}5(μeμc)θi5ϕ

 

=

{(KcG)15/2Mtot−5}𝓂surf5(μeμc)−9θi5ϕ;

P

=

=

{Kc10G−9Mtot−6}𝓂surf6(μeμc)−12θi6ϕ2;

r

=

[KcGρ04/5]1/2(μeμc)−1θi−2(2π)−1/2η

 

=

[KcG]1/2{𝓂surf(KcG)3/2(μeμc)−2Mtot−1}−2(μeμc)−1θi−2(2π)−1/2η

 

=

{(KcG)−5/2Mtot2}𝓂surf−2(μeμc)3θi−2(2π)−1/2η;

Mr

=

[Kc3G3ρ02/5]1/2(μeμc)−2θi−1(2π)1/2(−η2dϕdη)

 

=

[Kc3G3]1/2{𝓂surf(KcG)3/2(μeμc)−2Mtot−1}−1(μeμc)−2θi−1(2π)1/2(−η2dϕdη)

 

=

Mtot𝓂surf−1θi−1(2π)1/2(−η2dϕdη).

Adopting the new normalization then gives,

ρ~

=

𝓂surf5(μeμc)−9θi5ϕ;

P~

=

𝓂surf6(μeμc)−12θi6ϕ2;

r~

=

𝓂surf−2(μeμc)3θi−2(2π)−1/2η;

M~r

=

𝓂surf−1θi−1(2π)1/2(−η2dϕdη).

Behavior of Central Density Along Equilibrium Sequence

Each equilibrium sequence will be defined as a sequence of models having the same jump in the mean-molecular weight, μe/μc. Along a given sequence, we vary the location of the core/envelope interface, ξi. Our desire is to analyze the behavior of the central density, while holding the total mass fixed, as the location of the interface is varied.

The central density is given by the expression,

ρ~c =

𝓂surf5(μeμc)−10[(1+13ξ2)−5/2]ξ=0=𝓂surf5(μeμc)−10,

where,

𝓂surf = (2π)1/2Aηsθi.

In order to evaluate 𝓂surf for a given specification of the interface location, ξi, we need to know that,

θi = (1+13ξi2)−1/2,
ηi = (μeμc)3θi2ξi,
Λi = ξi3[(μeμc)−11θi2ξi2−1],
A = ηi(1+Λi2)1/2,
ηs = π2+ηi+tan−1(Λi).

Keep in mind, as well, that,

ν≡McoreMtot = (μeμc)23[ξi3θi4Aηs],
q≡rcoreR = (μeμc)3[ξiθi2ηs].

B-KB74 Eigenfunction

Attempt at Constructing Analytic Eigenfunction Expression

Background

In our accompanying discussion of eigenvectors associated with the radial oscillation of pressure-truncated polytropes, we derived the following,

Exact Solution to the Polytropic LAWE

σc2=0

      and      

xP≡3(n−1)2n[1+(n−3n−1)(1ξθn)dθdξ].

Drawing on the definition of θ(ξ) for n = 5 polytropes, as given in an accompanying chapter, we deduce that,

xP|n=5

=

65[1+12(1ξθ5)dθdξ]n=5

 

=

65−35ξ(1+ξ23)5/2ξ3(1+ξ23)−3/2

 

=

65−15(1+ξ23)

 

=

1−ξ215.

And, given that for n = 1 polytropes,

θ(ξ)=sin⁡ξξ,

we also find,

xP|n=1

=

−3[(1ξθ)dθdξ]n=1

 

=

3ξ(ξsin⁡ξ)[sin⁡ξξ2−cos⁡ξξ]

 

=

3ξ2[1−ξcot⁡ξ].

Core

Allowing for an overall leading scale factor, α, a viable displacement function for the (n=5) core of our bipolytropic configuration is,

xcoreα

=

[1−ξ215].

Throughout the core, the corresponding Lagrangian radial coordinate, r~, is given by the expression,

r~core =

𝓂surf−2(μeμc)4(32π)1/2ξ.

For "model A" the range is,

0≤ξ≤ξi=9.0149598.

SLOPE:  What is the slope of the function, xcore(r~), at the interface?

dxcoredξ|i =

−2αξi15,

⇒dxcoredr~|i =

−2αξi15[𝓂surf−2(μeμc)4(32π)1/2]−1=−707.53765α,

where, for "model A," we have set (μe/μc)=0.31 and 𝓂surf=1.938127063. Note as well that,

dln⁡(xcore)dln⁡r~|i=dln⁡(xcore)dln⁡ξ|i =

−2ξi215[1−ξi215]−1=+2.452697.

Envelope

As we have demonstrated in a separate structure discussion, the radial profile of the (n=1) envelope of our bipolytropic configuration is governed by the modified sinc-function,

ϕ(η)

=

A[sin⁡(η−B)η],

⇒−dϕdη

=

Aη2[sin⁡(η−B)−ηcos⁡(η−B)].

where, for "model A," A=0.200812422 and B=−0.859270052.

Again allowing for an overall leading scale factor, β, a viable displacement function for the (n=1) envelope of our bipolytropic configuration is,

xenv3β

=

1ηϕ(−dϕdη)

 

=

Aη3[sin⁡(η−B)−ηcos⁡(η−B)]⋅[ηAsin⁡(η−B)]

 

=

1η2[1−ηcot⁡(η−B)].

Throughout the envelope, the corresponding Lagrangian radial coordinate is,

r~env

=

𝓂surf−2(μeμc)3θi−2(2π)−1/2η.

For "model A" the range is,

(ηi=0.1723205)≤η≤(ηs=2.282322601).

SLOPE:  As we have detailed elsewhere, the slope of the function, xenv(r~), is related to the slope of xcore(r~) at the interface via the expression,

{dln⁡xdln⁡r|i}env={dln⁡xdln⁡η|i}env

=

3(γcγe−1)+γcγe{dln⁡xdln⁡ξ|i}core.

In our case, γc=6/5 and γe=2⇒γc/γe=3/5. Hence, from the point of view of the envelope displacement function, at the interface,

[r~xenv⋅dxenvdr~]i

=

35{[dln⁡(xcore)dln⁡ξ]i−2}

 

=

35{[2.452697−2}=0.271618.

Now, at the interface of any bipolytrope, the ratio r~/x should have the same numerical value whether it is viewed from the point of view of the core or the envelope. Given that, for our particular "model A",

[r~x]i=0.0153150.00485976=3.15139,

we should expect the slope of the envelope's displacement function at the interface to be,

dxenvdr~|i

=

0.08619.


Trial Displacement Function

The blue curve in the following figure results from plotting xcore versus r~core after setting the leading coefficient, α=−0.0011. The red-dotted curve results from plotting (xenv+xshift) versus r~env after setting the leading coefficient, β=−0.000062, and xshift=+0.0105.

Trial Analytic Eigenfunction

ASSESSMENT:

  • Our analytically specified displacement function, xcore, appears to be an excellent match to the displacement function obtained throughout the core by implementing the B-KB74 conjecture.
  • At first glance, the plot of (xenv+xshift) appears to provide a reasonably good fit to the approximate displacement function that we have obtained throughout the envelope by implementing the B-KB74 conjecture. But, in reality, there are two fatal flaws:
    1. We have presented the behavior of our analytically specified envelope displacement function only up to the radial coordinate, η=2.19707(r~env=0.19526). Between this point and the surface, ηs=2.2823226(r~env=0.2028415) — where the argument of the cotangent, (ηs−B)→π — the analytic function dives steeply to negative infinity. This violently departs from the behavior derived via the B-KB74 conjecture.
    2. While our analytically specified displacement function, xenv, satisfies the "n = 1" polytropic LAWE, this satisfaction is destroyed by adding xshift to the displacement function.

Let's examine the slope of the displacement function at the interface. From the perspective of the core, our analytic prescription for the displacement function matches the K-BK74-derived displacement function very well. An analytic evaluation of the slope at the inferface — as derived above — gives,

dxcoredr~|i=−707.53765α=+0.77829.

The black-dashed line segment that appears in the following figure has this slope and goes through the point of intersection; it appears to be tangent to the analytic displacement function, as expected. Alternatively, the orange-dashed line segment that appears in this same figure, also goes through the point of intersection, but it has a slope that matches our expectation for the envelope's displacement function; that is, it has a slope as derived of,

dxenvdr~|i=+0.08619.

This orange-dashed line segment does not appear to lie tangent to the K-BK74-derived displacement function for the envelope.

2nd Trial

The relevant LAWE for the envelope is,

[Asin⁡(η−B)η]d2xdη2 =

−2Aη{sin⁡(η−B)+ηcos⁡(η−B)}1η⋅dxdη+2Aη{sin⁡(η−B)−ηcos⁡(η−B)}xη2−2(σc212)x

⇒13β⋅d2xdη2 =

−2η{1+ηcot⁡(η−B)}[13β⋅dxdη]+2{1−ηcot⁡(η−B)}x3βη2−2(σc212)[η3βAsin⁡(η−B)]x.

Here, we will guess a displacement function, xenv, of the form,

xenv3β

=

1η2[1−ηcot⁡(η−Bx)]=1η2−cos⁡(η−Bx)ηsin⁡(η−Bx),

where we will assume, quite generally, that Bx≠B. The first and second derivatives of xenv are,

13β[dxenvdη]

=

−2η3+cos⁡(η−Bx)η2sin⁡(η−Bx)+sin⁡(η−Bx)ηsin⁡(η−Bx)+cos2(η−Bx)ηsin2(η−Bx)

 

=

−2η3+1η+cos⁡(η−Bx)η2sin⁡(η−Bx)+cos2(η−Bx)ηsin2(η−Bx);

=

6η4−1η2−2cos⁡(η−Bx)η3sin⁡(η−Bx)−1η2[1+cos2(η−Bx)sin2(η−Bx)]−cos2(η−Bx)η2sin2(η−Bx)−1η[2cos⁡(η−Bx)sin⁡(η−Bx)+2cos3(η−Bx)sin3(η−Bx)]

 

=

6η4−2η2−2cos⁡(η−Bx)η3sin⁡(η−Bx)−2η2[cos2(η−Bx)sin2(η−Bx)]−2η[cos⁡(η−Bx)sin⁡(η−Bx)+cos3(η−Bx)sin3(η−Bx)]

 

=

6η4−2η2[1+cot2(η−Bx)]−2cot⁡(η−Bx)η3−2η[cot⁡(η−Bx)+cot⁡3(η−Bx)].

These match the expressions for dxP/dη and d2xP/dη2 that we separately derived in a subsection labeled Attempt_4B of an accompanying discussion labeled. Plugging these three relations into the LAWE, then multiplying through by η4, gives,

6η4−2η2[1+cot2(η−Bx)]−2cot⁡(η−Bx)η3−2η[cot⁡(η−Bx)+cot⁡3(η−Bx)]

=

−2η3[cot⁡(η−B)+cot⁡(η−B)cot⁡2(η−Bx)−cot⁡(η−Bx)−cot⁡3(η−Bx)]+2η[cot⁡(η−B)−cot⁡(η−Bx)]

Notice that if we set Bx=B, the RHS of this LAWE expression goes to zero. This [thankfully] is as expected.

Numerical Integration Through Envelope

In an effort to numerically determine the eigenfunction of the envelope, we will follow the procedure described in an accompanying stability analysis of pressure-truncated polytropes to integrate the n=1 envelope from the core/envelope interface to the surface. In a closely related chapter titled, Radial Oscillations of n = 1 Polytropic Spheres, we have tried to find analytic expressions for the eigenvector of marginally unstable configurations.

Setup

Continuous Form of LAWE

We begin by writing our generic version of the polytropic LAWE,

0=d2xdξ2+[4−(n+1)Q]1ξ⋅dxdξ+(n+1)[(σc26γg)ξ2θ−αQ]xξ2

where:    Q(ξ)≡−dln⁡θdln⁡ξ,    σc2≡3ω22πGρc,     and,     α≡(3−4γg)

then focus on the n=1 case — setting γg=1+1/n=2 and α=+1 — the relevant LAWE becomes,

0 =

d2xdη2+{4−2Q}1η⋅dxdη+2{(σc212)η2ϕ−Q}xη2,

📚 Chatterji (1951) — STEP 1

If we focus on the n=1 case but leave γ (and, hence, α) unspecified, the relevant LAWE becomes,

0 =

d2xdη2+{4−2Q}1η⋅dxdη+2{(σc26γ)η2ϕ−αQ}xη2.

If, in addition, we make the notation substitutions,

Q →

μn+1=μ2

      and,       σc23γ →

ωChatterji2,

the relevant LAWE becomes,

0 =

d2xdη2+{4−μ}1η⋅dxdη+{(σc23γ)η2ϕ−αμ}xη2

  =

d2xdη2+[4−μη]dxdη+[ωChatterji2ϕ−αμη2]x,

which, apart from notation, is identical to equation (1) of 📚 Chatterji (1951).

Now, in the broadest context,

ϕ(η)

=

A[sin⁡(η−B)η],

−dϕdη

=

Aη2[sin⁡(η−B)−ηcos⁡(η−B)],

⇒Q(η)≡−dln⁡ϕdln⁡η

=

Aη2[sin⁡(η−B)−ηcos⁡(η−B)]⋅η2Asin⁡(η−B)

 

=

[1−ηcot⁡(η−B)].

📚 Chatterji (1951) — STEP 2

In the context of an isolated, n=1 polytrope, the appropriate parameter values are, A=1 and B=0, in which case,

ϕ(η)

=

sin⁡ηη,

      and,      

μ=2Q

=

2(1−ηcot⁡η),

and the relevant LAWE becomes,

0 =

d2xdη2+[4+2(ηcot⁡η−1)η]dxdη+[ηωChatterji2sin⁡η+2α(ηcot⁡η−1)η2]x

  =

d2xdη2+[2(1+ηcot⁡η)η]dxdη+[ηωChatterji2sin⁡η+2α(ηcot⁡η−1)η2]x,

which, again apart from notation, is identical to equation (2) of 📚 Chatterji (1951); see also the (unnumbered) equation in the middle of the left-hand-column of p. 223 in 📚 Murphy & Fiedler (1985b).

If we set γ=(n+1)/n=2 (and correspondingly set α=[3−4/γ]=+1), the n=1 LAWE we becomes,

0 =

d2xdη2+{4−2[1−ηcot⁡(η−B)]}1η⋅dxdη+2{(σc212)η3Asin⁡(η−B)−[1−ηcot⁡(η−B)]}xη2

  =

d2xdη2+2{1+ηcot⁡(η−B)}1η⋅dxdη+2{(σc212)η3Asin⁡(η−B)−1+ηcot⁡(η−B)}xη2.

Multiplying through by ϕ, we can write,

[Asin⁡(η−B)η]d2xdη2 =

−2Aη{sin⁡(η−B)+ηcos⁡(η−B)}1η⋅dxdη+2Aη{sin⁡(η−B)−ηcos⁡(η−B)}xη2−2(σc212)x.

Discrete Form of LAWE

In order to integrate this 2nd-order ODE numerically, we will build from the more general expression for polytropes used in our separate development of a finite-difference scheme, namely,

θixi″

=

−[4θi−(n+1)ξi(−θ')i]xi′ξi−(n+1)[σc26γg−αξi(−θ')i]xi.

Making the notation substitutions, (ξ,θ)→(η,ϕ), we have instead,

ϕixi″

=

−[4ϕi−(n+1)ηi(−ϕ')i]xi′ηi−(n+1)[σc26γg−αηi(−ϕ')i]xi.

Now, adopting the finite-difference expressions,

xi′

≈

x+−x−2Δη,    and,

xi″

≈

x+−2xi+x−Δη2,

the discrete form of the LAWE becomes,

x+[2ϕi+4Δηϕiηi−Δη(n+1)(−ϕ')i]⏞TERM1

=

x−[4Δηϕiηi−Δη(n+1)(−ϕ')i−2ϕi]⏞TERM2+xi{4ϕi−Δη2(n+1)3[σc2γg−2α(−3ϕ'η)i]}⏞TERM3.

When applied specifically to an n=1, polytropic configuration, we should insert the following specific expressions:

γg

=

1+1n=2,

α

=

3−4γg=+1,

ϕi

=

A[sin⁡(ηi−B)ηi],

(−ϕ′)i

=

Aηi2[sin⁡(ηi−B)−ηicos⁡(ηi−B)].

Pressure-Truncated n = 1 Polytrope

In the case of an isolated n=1 polytrope, we must set B=0; in addition, it is customary to set A=1. The relevant LAWE is, then,

0 =

d2xdη2+2{1+ηcot⁡(η)}1η⋅dxdη+2{(σc212)η3sin⁡(η)−1+ηcot⁡(η)}xη2.

Review of Trial Analytic Eigenfunction

This is the same 2nd-order ODE that we derived in a separate discussion; there it was accompanied by the surface boundary condition,

−dln⁡xdln⁡ξ|surf

=

(3−nn+1)+nσc26(n+1)[ξθ′]surf

⇒−dln⁡xdln⁡η|surf

=

1+σc212[η3(ηcos⁡η−sin⁡η)]η=π=1−π2σc212.

From, for example, a separate succinct demonstration, we appreciate that if the displacement function is assumed to be,

xP

=

3η2[1−ηcot⁡η]

… that is,

xP

=

3η2−3cos⁡ηηsin⁡η,

in which case,

dxPdη

=

−6η3+3[cos⁡ηη2sin⁡η+1η+cos2ηηsin2η],

and,

d2xPdη2

=

+18η4+3ddη[cos⁡ηη2sin⁡η]+3ddη[1η]+3ddη[cos2ηηsin2η]

 

=

+18η4−3[2cos⁡ηη3sin⁡η+cos2ηη2sin2η+sin⁡ηη2sin⁡η]−[3η2]−3[cos2ηη2sin2η+2cos3ηηsin3η+2cos⁡ηηsin⁡η].

Hence,

LAWE =

{2η+2cos⁡ηsin⁡η}{−6η3+[3cos⁡ηη2sin⁡η+3η+3cos2ηηsin2η]}+2{(σc212)η3sin⁡(η)−1+ηcos⁡ηsin⁡η}[3η4−3cos⁡ηη3sin⁡η]

   

+18η4−3[2cos⁡ηη3sin⁡η+cos2ηη2sin2η+sin⁡ηη2sin⁡η]−[3η2]−3[cos2ηη2sin2η+2cos3ηηsin3η+2cos⁡ηηsin⁡η]

  =

[2η+2cot⁡η][−6η3+3cot⁡ηη2+3η+3cot2ηη]+{(σc26)η3sin⁡η}[3η4−3cot⁡ηη3]+[−2+2ηcot⁡η][3η4−3cot⁡ηη3]

   

+18η4−[6cot⁡ηη3+3cot2ηη2+3η2]−[3η2]−[3cot2ηη2+6cot3ηη+6cot⁡ηη]

  =

{(σc22)1ηsin⁡η}[1−ηcot⁡η]+[−12η4+6η2]+[2cot⁡η][3η3+3cot⁡ηη2]+[2cot⁡η][−6η3+3cot⁡ηη2+3η+3cot2ηη]

   

+[−6η4+6cot⁡ηη3]+[2cot⁡η][3η3−3cot⁡ηη2]+18η4−6η2+[2cot⁡η][−3cot2ηη−3cot⁡ηη2−3η−3η3]

  =

{(σc22)1ηsin⁡η}[1−ηcot⁡η]+[2cot⁡η][−3η3+6cot⁡ηη2+3η+3cot2ηη]

   

+[2cot⁡η][3η3−3cot2ηη−6cot⁡ηη2−3η]

  =

{(σc22)1ηsin⁡η}[1−ηcot⁡η].

the n=1 LAWE reduces to …

LAWE =

{(σc22)1ηsin⁡η}[1−ηcot⁡η].

ASSESSMENT: 

  1. If we set σc2=0, the right-hand-side of this expression goes to zero — and, hence, the n=1 LAWE is satisfied — for any chosen truncation radius in the range, 0<ηi<π. (We have not included the isolated n=1 polytrope because xP blows up at its surface, ηi=π.)
  2. At the surface, ηi, the slope of this trial eigenfunction is,

    13⋅dxPdη|i

    =

    [cot⁡ηiηi2+1ηi+cot2ηiηi]−2ηi3.

    By contrast, as stated above, the eigenvalue problem will be properly solved only if the surface slope is,

    −dln⁡xdln⁡η|surf

    =

    1+σc2012[η3(ηcos⁡η−sin⁡η)]η=π=1

    ⇒13⋅dxPdη|surf

    =

    −xP3η|i

     

    =

    −1ηi3[1−ηicot⁡ηi]=cot⁡ηiηi2−1ηi3.

    These two slopes do not appear to be the same, for any allowed choice of ηi. We conclude, therefore, that no model along the sequence of pressure-truncated n=1 polytropes is marginally unstable.

Determining Discrete Representation of Eigenfunction

Let's numerically integrate the discrete form of the n=1 LAWE over the radial coordinate range, 0≤ηi≤ηs. Following our discussion of the more general polytropic case, we will kickstart integration from the center, outward, via the expression,

x2

=

x1[1−(n+1)𝔉Δη260],

      where,      

𝔉

≡

[σc2γg−2α].

Here, we will restrict our investigation to the case where γg=(n+1)/n=2, in which case, α=(3−4/γg)=+1, 𝔉=(σc2−4)/2, and

x2

=

x1[1−(σc2−4)Δη260].

EXAMPLE:   A=1, B=0, Δη=π/99=0.031733259; evaluated over range, 0≤ηi≤π.

Isolated n = 1 Polytrope

If we integrate all the way out to the natural, zero-pressure surface of our n=1 polytrope, then ηs=π and — as derived in our discussion of the equilibrium structure of n = 1 polytropes — (ρc/ρ¯)=π2/3. In line with our discussion of Schwarzschild's model of oscillations in n=3 polytropes, we therefore expect the boundary condition at the surface of our n=1 configurations to be given by the expression,

−dln⁡xdln⁡η|surf =

−12{[𝔉+2α](ρcρ¯)−2α}

  =

1−(σc2π212),

as reviewed immediately above.


📚 Chatterji (1951) — STEP 3

Here we examine what the boundary condition should be at the surface of an isolated n=1 polytrope. Given that, quite generally in the context of isolated polytropes,

α

=

3−4γ,

      and,      

𝔉

=

σc2γ−2α,

the surface boundary condition is,

−dln⁡xdln⁡η|surf =

−12{[𝔉+2α](ρcρ¯)−2α}

  =

−σc22γ(ρcρ¯)+3−4γ

  =

3−1γ[4+σc22(ρcρ¯)].

Considerations:

  1. For an isolated n=1 polytrope, the central-to-mean density is, ρc/ρ¯=π2/3. Hence,
    {−dln⁡xdln⁡η|surf}n=1 =

    3−1γ[4+π2σc26].

  2. If, in addition, we set γ=(n+1)/n=2⇒α=+1, then,
    {−dln⁡xdln⁡η|surf}n=1,α=+1 =

    3−12[4+π2σc26]=1−π2σc212.

  3. If we set γ=[4/(3−α)] for all other values of α, we can write,
    {−dln⁡xdln⁡η|surf}n=1,α =

    3−(3−α)[1+π2σc224]=α−(3−α)[π2σc224].




At the bottom of p. 469 of his article, 📚 Chatterji (1951) states that, "… the condition for the Node to fall at the surface of the star is,

3f+zdfdz =

0,

which we interpret to mean,

{−dln⁡fdln⁡z|surf}n=1,α =

3.

He goes on to say, "As the adiabatic approximation breaks down near the boundary we have not strictly followed this condition."


This should be compared with the finite-difference representation of the logarithmic derivative, namely,

+Δln⁡xΔln⁡ξ|surface

≈

ξmaxxN[xN+1−xN−12Δξ].

CAUTION!     Because, for each guess of σc2, the eigenfunction climbs (or plummets) rapidly as we approach the surface, in practice we evaluated the finite-difference representation of the logarithmic derivative at a zone location that is a bit inside of the actual surface; for example, when we divided the equilibrium configuration into N=100 grid zones, we evaluated the "surface" derivative at zone number 97.

Here we have adopted an analysis that closely resembles our discussion of the analysis of n=3 polytropes that was published by 📚 Schwarzschild (1941). Here we have divided our model into N=100 radial zones and, using this algorithm, integrated the LAWE from the center of the configuration to the surface, for α=+1, and approximately 40 different chosen values of the frequency parameter across the range, −2≤𝔉≤+18. The radial displacement functions resulting from these integrations are presented in the following figure as an animation sequence. The specified value of 𝔉 is displayed at the top of each animation frame, and the resulting displacement function, x(η), is traced by the small, red circular markers in each frame.

The solid circular markers in the plot (center panel) show how the amplitude of the displacement function varies with radius 0≤η<π for three separate radial modes, according to the data provided in Table II of 📚 Chatterji (1951), which has been reproduced here in the scrollable left-hand panel. In the plot, blue is the fundamental mode, red is the 1st overtone, green is the 2nd overtone. The (square of the) eigenfrequency corresponding to each mode, according to Table I of 📚 Chatterji (1951), is provided in the column of the right-hand panel that is (highlighted in pink and) labeled ωChatterji2; also listed are the corresponding values of σc2=3γωChatterji2.
 
The smooth, solid curves in the middle-panel plot are not fits to Chatterji's data. Rather, they result from our own, independent numerical integration of the relevant LAWE, assuming that Chatterji's published values of the (square of the) eigenfrequency are correct for all three modes. In all three cases for the specified eigenfrequency, there is excellent agreement between our determination of the radial eigenfunction and the determination obtained by 📚 Chatterji (1951).

We are exceptionally pleased to find that, for each of the three modes of oscillation, the displacement function obtained via our integration of the LAWE (solid curves in the figure) runs through the discrete points recorded by 📚 Chatterji (1951) (solid circular markers in the figure). But in doing so, we find from our higher resolution model that there is an inflection point just inside the surface of the model; this is not the smooth behavior that is expected as the surface is approached. In an effort to correct this behavior, we have changed the constraint that is applied while integrating the LAWE from the center, outward: Instead of forcing ωChatterji2 to match the value published by 📚 Chatterji (1951), we have let the value of this oscillation frequency vary while enforcing the surface boundary condition describe above as CONSIDERATION "C". The resulting "improved" solution is shown in the figure that follows.

Chatterji's Figure 1

2nd Overtone 3.3484654 16.742327

The solid circular markers in the plot (center panel) show how the amplitude of the displacement function varies with radius 0≤η<π for three separate radial modes, according to the data provided in Table II of 📚 Chatterji (1951), which has been reproduced here in the scrollable left-hand panel. In the plot, blue is the fundamental mode, red is the 1st overtone, green is the 2nd overtone. The (square of the) eigenfrequency corresponding to each mode, according to Table I of 📚 Chatterji (1951), is provided in the column of the right-hand panel that is (highlighted in pink and) labeled ωChatterji2; also listed are the corresponding values of σc2=3γωChatterji2.
 
The smooth, solid curves in the middle-panel plot are not fits to Chatterji's data. Rather, they result from our own, independent numerical integration of the relevant LAWE, assuming that Chatterji's published values of the (square of the) eigenfrequency are correct for all three modes. In all three cases for the specified eigenfrequency, there is excellent agreement between our determination of the radial eigenfunction and the determination obtained by 📚 Chatterji (1951).

Pressure-Truncated n = 1 Polytrope

Drawing from an accompanying discussion, if the polytropic configuration is truncated by the pressure, Pe, of a hot, tenuous external medium, then the solution to the LAWE is subject to the outer boundary condition,

−dln⁡xdln⁡η

=

3     at     η=η~.

Bipolytropic Envelope (Trial Simplification)

For the n=1 envelope of a (nc,ne)=(5,1) bipolytrope, the relevant LAWE is,

LAWE =

d2xdη2

   

+2{1+ηcos⁡(η−B)sin⁡(η−B)}1η⋅dxdη

   

+2{(σc212)η3Asin⁡(η−B)−1+ηcos⁡(η−B)sin⁡(η−B)}xη2.

Three terms in this expression blow up at the surface, where (η−B)→π and, hence, sin⁡(η−B)→0. We can improve the behavior of this LAWE expression by assuming that the eigenfunction is of the form,

x =

f(η)[sin⁡(η−B)]m,

in which case,

dxdη =

[sin⁡(η−B)]mdfdη+mf(η)[sin⁡(η−B)]m−1cos⁡(η−B);     and,

d2xdη2 =

[sin⁡(η−B)]md2fdη2+2m[sin⁡(η−B)]m−1cos⁡(η−B)⋅dfdη+m(m−1)f(η)[sin⁡(η−B)]m−2cos⁡2(η−B)−mf(η)[sin⁡(η−B)]m−1sin⁡(η−B).

This gives,

LAWE =

[sin⁡(η−B)]md2fdη2+2m[sin⁡(η−B)]m−1cos⁡(η−B)⋅dfdη+m(m−1)f(η)[sin⁡(η−B)]m−2cos⁡2(η−B)−mf(η)[sin⁡(η−B)]m−1sin⁡(η−B)

   

+2{1+ηcos⁡(η−B)sin⁡(η−B)}1η⋅{[sin⁡(η−B)]mdfdη+mf(η)[sin⁡(η−B)]m−1cos⁡(η−B)}

   

+2{(σc212)ηAsin⁡(η−B)−1η2+cos⁡(η−B)ηsin⁡(η−B)}f(η)[sin⁡(η−B)]m

  =

[sin⁡(η−B)]md2fdη2+2{1η+cos⁡(η−B)sin⁡(η−B)}[sin⁡(η−B)]mdfdη+2m[sin⁡(η−B)]m−1cos⁡(η−B)⋅dfdη

   

+m(m−1)[sin⁡(η−B)]m−2cos⁡2(η−B)⋅f(η)−m[sin⁡(η−B)]m−1sin⁡(η−B)⋅f(η)

   

+2m{1η+cos⁡(η−B)sin⁡(η−B)}[sin⁡(η−B)]m−1cos⁡(η−B)⋅f(η)+2{(σc212)ηAsin⁡(η−B)−1η2+cos⁡(η−B)ηsin⁡(η−B)}[sin⁡(η−B)]mf(η)

  =

[sin⁡(η−B)]md2fdη2+2{1η[sin⁡(η−B)]+(m+1)cos⁡(η−B)}[sin⁡(η−B)]m−1dfdη

   

+{m(m−1)cos2(η−B)−m[sin⁡(η−B)]2}[sin⁡(η−B)]m−2⋅f(η)

   

+{2mη[sin⁡(η−B)]cos⁡(η−B)+2mcos⁡2(η−B)+[(σc26)ηA][sin⁡(η−B)]−2η2[sin⁡(η−B)]2+2cos⁡(η−B)η[sin⁡(η−B)]}[sin⁡(η−B)]m−2⋅f(η).

Try m = 1 and m = 2

If we set m=1, there are still terms in the LAWE expression that blow up at the surface, where (η−B)→π and, hence, sin⁡(η−B)→0. Instead, let's try m=2:

LAWE|m=2 =

[sin⁡(η−B)]2d2fdη2+2{1η[sin⁡(η−B)]+3cos⁡(η−B)}[sin⁡(η−B)]dfdη

   

+{2cos2(η−B)−2[sin⁡(η−B)]2}⋅f(η)

   

+{4η[sin⁡(η−B)]cos⁡(η−B)+4cos⁡2(η−B)+[(σc26)ηA][sin⁡(η−B)]−2η2[sin⁡(η−B)]2+2cos⁡(η−B)η[sin⁡(η−B)]}⋅f(η),

which, at the surface η→ηs=(π+B), reduces to …

{LAWE|m=2}ηs =

6f(ηs).

Hence, this LAWE will be satisfied for any function, f(η), that goes to zero at the surface.


Try m = 3

Setting m=3, we obtain,

LAWE|m=3 =

[sin⁡(η−B)]3d2fdη2+2{1η[sin⁡(η−B)]+4cos⁡(η−B)}[sin⁡(η−B)]2dfdη

   

+{6cos2(η−B)−3[sin⁡(η−B)]2}[sin⁡(η−B)]⋅f(η)

   

+{6η[sin⁡(η−B)]cos⁡(η−B)+6cos⁡2(η−B)+[(σc26)ηA][sin⁡(η−B)]−2η2[sin⁡(η−B)]2+2cos⁡(η−B)η[sin⁡(η−B)]}[sin⁡(η−B)]⋅f(η).

which trivially reduces to zero at the surface because, η→ηs=(π+B)⇒sin⁡(η−B)→0. For all other relevant radial positions in the envelope, ηi≤η<ηs, we can divide through by sin3(η−B) to obtain,

[sin⁡(η−B)]−3×LAWE|m=3 =

d2fdη2+2{1η+4cot⁡(η−B)}⋅dfdη+{12cot⁡2(η−B)−3+8η[cot⁡(η−B)]+[(σc26)ηAsin⁡(η−B)]−2η2}⋅f(η),

Boundary Condition

In addition, there is a (boundary condition) constraint on the slope of the eigenfunction at the surface. So, let's examine …

dln⁡xdln⁡η|m=2≡[ηx⋅dxdη]m=2 =

ηf(η)sin2(η−B){sin2(η−B)dfdη+2f(η)sin⁡(η−B)cos⁡(η−B)}

  =

dln⁡fdln⁡η+2ηcot⁡(η−B)

Now, from above, we appreciate that when ϕ=Asin⁡(η−B)/η,

ηcot⁡(η−B) =

1+dln⁡ϕdln⁡ξ

⇒dln⁡xdln⁡η|m=2 =

dln⁡fdln⁡η+2[1+dln⁡ϕdln⁡ξ].

It therefore appears as though we should adopt the function relation,

dln⁡fdln⁡η =

−2dln⁡ϕdln⁡η


x =

f(η)[sin⁡(η−B)]m,



Let's now examine "model A" from above, for which, A=0.200812422 and B=−0.859270052. If we set σc2=0, this LAWE becomes,

0 =

d2xdη2+[4−2Q]1η⋅dxdη−2[αQ]xη2.

Discrete Determination of Bipolytropic Envelope

Here we focus on the specific (nc,ne)=(5,1) equilibrium model sequence that has (μe/μc)=0.31; and along this sequence, we attempt to analyze the dynamical stability of "model A" from above, which sits along the sequence at the maximum-core-mass turning point for which …

As presented above, when σc2=0, the eigenfunction for the core that we have deduced via the B-KB74 conjecture appears to be well represented by the expressions,

xcore

=

C0[1−ξ215],       and,       dxdξ|core=−2C0ξ15,       with,       C0=−0.0011,

over the radial-parameter range, 0≤ξ≤ξi.


At the Core/Envelope Interface
(as viewed from the core)
xi dxdξ|i r~i dxdr~|i [dln⁡xdln⁡ξ]i=[dln⁡xdln⁡r~]i
+ 0.004859763 + 0.001322194 0.015314992 + 0.778291359 + 2.4526969


Copying from our earlier discussion of the envelope for "model A", the range of the radial parameter is,

(ηi=0.1723205)≤η≤(ηs=2.282322601).

SLOPE:  As we have detailed elsewhere, we expect that the slope of the function, xenv(r~), is related to the slope of xcore(r~) at the interface via the expression,

{dln⁡xdln⁡r|i}env={dln⁡xdln⁡η|i}env

=

3(γcγe−1)+γcγe{dln⁡xdln⁡ξ|i}core.

In our case, γc=6/5 and γe=2⇒γc/γe=3/5. Hence, from the point of view of the envelope displacement function, at the interface,

[r~xenv⋅dxenvdr~]i

=

35{[dln⁡(xcore)dln⁡ξ]i−2}

 

=

35{[2.452697−2}=0.271618.

Now, at the interface of any bipolytrope, the ratio r~/x should have the same numerical value whether it is viewed from the point of view of the core or the envelope. Given that, for our particular "model A",

[r~x]i=0.0153150.00485976=3.15139,

we should expect the slope of the envelope's displacement function at the interface to be,

dxenvdr~|i

=

0.08619.

As above, we will integrate the discrete LAWE outward using the finite-difference expression,

x+[2ϕi+4Δηϕiηi−Δη(n+1)(−ϕ')i]⏞TERM1

=

x−[4Δηϕiηi−Δη(n+1)(−ϕ')i−2ϕi]⏞TERM2+xi{4ϕi−Δη2(n+1)3[σc2γg−2α(−3ϕ'η)i]}⏞TERM3.

When we started the integration at the center of the configuration, we kickstarted the process by, first, setting x1=1; then, second, setting,

x2

=

x1[1−(n+1)𝔉Δη260],

      where,      

𝔉

≡

[σc2γg−2α].

Having obtained x1→x− and x2→xi, we then used the finite-difference expression to calculate x+→x3, as well as all subsequent "x+" values, all the way to the surface.

Here, instead, we want to start the envelope integration at the core/envelope interface as follows:

  1. The displacement function for the core gives us the value of the displacement function, xi=+0.004859763, at ξi=9.0149598, that is, at ηi=0.17232050; we recognize that this value of xi (at the interface) also furnishes the value of xi in the first integration step of the finite-difference expressions.
  2. We will then "guess" the slope of the envelope's displacement function, q≡[dx/dη]i, at the interface.
  3. Our discrete representation of this first derivative permits us to write,

    q

    ≈

    x+−x−2Δη

    ⇒x−

    ≈

    x+−2qΔη.

    Inserting this expression into the finite-difference approximation to the LAWE gives for the first integration step only!

    x+⋅TERM1

    (x+−2qΔη)⋅TERM2+xi⋅TERM3

    ⇒x+⋅[TERM1−TERM2]

    =

    xi⋅TERM3−2qΔη⋅TERM2.

NOTE:   Judging by the behavior of the B-KB74 generated displacement function, at the interface we expect the slope, [dln⁡x/dln⁡r~]env, from the envelope's perspective to be shallower than the slope, [dln⁡x/dln⁡r~]core, from the core's perspective. That is to say, we expect to "guess" values of q such that at the interface,

Examine Pressure Gradient at the Interface

Determine the interface-pressure-gradient from two different perspectives: (1) Look at the behavior of the pressure as determined when the hydrostatic-balance models have been constructed; and (2) Look at the behavior of the specific entropy at the interface.

From Hydrostatic Balance

Pressure Gradient at Core Interface

Step 4: Throughout the core … we have,

P*≡P[Kcρ06/5]

=

(1+13ξ2)−3

⇒dP*dξ

=

−2ξ(1+13ξ2)−4;

and,

r*≡[Gρ04/5Kc]r

=

(32π)1/2ξ

⇒ξr*

=

(2π3)1/2.

Hence, from the perspective of the core, at the interface (ξi) the radial pressure derivative is,

dP*dr*|i

=

−2ξi(1+13ξi2)−4(2π3)1/2.

Note, as well, that,

[r*P*⋅dP*dr*]i

=

−2ξi(1+13ξi2)−4(2π3)1/2[(32π)1/2ξi](1+13ξi2)3

 

=

−2ξi2(1+13ξi2)−1.


Pressure Gradient at Envelope Interface

Step 8: Throughout the envelope … we have,

P*≡P[Kcρ06/5]

=

θi6ϕ2=A2[1+ξi23]−3[sin⁡(η−B)η]2

⇒dP*dη

=

2A2[1+ξi23]−3[sin⁡(η−B)η]{cos⁡(η−B)η−sin⁡(η−B)η2};

and,

r*≡[Gρ04/5Kc]r

=

(μeμc)−1θi−2(2π)−1/2η

⇒ηr*

=

(μeμc)θi2(2π)1/2.

Hence, from the perspective of the envelope, at the interface (ηi) the radial pressure derivative is,

dP*dr*|i

=

(μeμc)(23π)1/2A2[1+ξi23]−4[sin⁡(ηi−B)ηi2]{ηicos⁡(ηi−B)−sin⁡(ηi−B)},

where,

A

=

ηisin⁡(ηi−B),

      and,      

ηi

=

31/2ξi(μeμc)θi2.

Simplifying this last expression a bit, we have,

dP*dr*|i

=

(μeμc)(23π)1/2[1+ξi23]−4[ηicot⁡(ηi−B)−1]

 

=

−2ξi(2π3)1/2(1+ξi23)−4{1−ηicot⁡(ηi−B)}(μeμc)3ξi.

Note, as well, that,

[r*P*⋅dP*dr*]i

=

(μeμc)(23π)1/2A2[1+ξi23]−4[sin⁡(ηi−B)ηi2]{ηicos⁡(ηi−B)−sin⁡(ηi−B)}

 

 

×(μeμc)−1θi−2(2π)−1/2ηi{A2[1+ξi23]−3[sin⁡(ηi−B)ηi]2}−1

 

=

2[1+ξi23]−1{ηicot⁡(ηi−B)−1}θi−2ηi

 

=

−2ξi2(1+ξi23)−1{1−ηicot⁡(ηi−B)}31/2ξi(μeμc).

Pressure Gradient Summary

Whether viewed from the perspective of the core or the envelope, we have shown that the pressure at the interface is the same. However, at the interface, the first derivative (or the logarithmic derivative) of the pressure as viewed from the envelope is "larger" than what is viewed from the perspective of the core by the following factor:

factor

=

{1−ηicot⁡(ηi−B)}3ξi(μeμc).

We note, for later use, that averaging these two pressure-gradients at the interface gives,

12{[r*P*⋅dP*dr*]core+[r*P*⋅dP*dr*]env}i

=

−ξi(1+13ξi2)−1{ξi+[1−ηicot⁡(ηi−B)]31/2(μeμc)}.

From Step-Function Behavior of Specific Entropy

Strategically Incorporate Step Function

As we have discussed separately, a useful expression for the specific entropy of any individual Lagrangian fluid element is,

sℜ

=

1μ(γ−1)⋅ln⁡(Pργ).

How does s/ℜ vary as a function of the Lagrangian mass shell (or Lagrangian radial coordinate)? In the case of a spherical bipolytropic configuration: s=sc (a constant) throughout the core; s=se (another constant) throughout the envelope; and a unit step function,

H(ζ)={0;ζ<01;ζ>0


[MF53], Part I, §2.1 (p. 123), Eq. (2.1.6)

can be introduced to accomplish the instantaneous jump from sc to se at the core/envelope interface. Specifically, after defining,

ζ

≡

rri−1,

we obtain the correct physical description of the variation of specific entropy with mass shell, m, via the expression,

s(ζ)

=

sc+H(ζ)⋅(se−sc).

Adopting the half-maximum convention — which states that H(ζ=0)=12 — we acknowledge that the functional value of the specific entropy at the interface is, si=12(sc+se). Also, from our accompanying brief discussion of the behavior of the unit step function, we appreciate that,

dH(ζ)dζ

=

δ(ζ),

where, δ(ζ) is the Dirac delta function. We conclude, therefore, that precisely at the interface,

ds(ζ)dζ|i

=

[(se−sc)⋅δ(ζ)]i=(se−sc).

Generally speaking, the two parameters, μ,γ, and the mass density, ρ, also will exhibit a step-function behavior at the interface of each equilibrium bipolytrope. The following table summarizes how we model the radial variation of these quantities.

Quantity Functional Behavior At Interface
Value Derivative wrt ζ Derivative wrt r
Specific Entropy s(ζ)=sc+H(ζ)⋅(se−sc) si≡s(0)=12(sc+se) ds(ζ)dζ|i=(se−sc) dsdr|i=(se−sc)/ri
Mean Molecular Weight μ(ζ)=μc+H(ζ)⋅(μe−μc) μi≡μ(0)=12(μc+μe) dμ(ζ)dζ|i=(μe−μc) dμdr|i=(μe−μc)/ri
Ratio of Specific Heats γ(ζ)=γc+H(ζ)⋅(γe−γc) γi≡γ(0)=12(γc+γe) dγ(ζ)dζ|i=(γe−γc) dγdr|i=(γe−γc)/ri

The step-function that arises in a proper description of the density distribution must be handled with a bit more care. Throughout the core,

ρcore*

=

(1+ξ23)−5/2,

      and,      

r*

=

(32π)1/2ξ;

and throughout the envelope,

ρenv*

=

(μeμc)θi5[ηisin⁡(ηi−B)][sin⁡(η−B)η],

      and,      

r*

=

(μeμc)−1θi−2(2π)−1/2η.

The complete functional expression for the normalized mass density can therefore be written as,

ρ*(ζ)

=

ρcore*(ζ)+H(ζ)⋅[ρenv*(ζ)−ρcore*(ζ)].

⇒ddr*[ρ*(ζ)]

=

dρcore*dr*+[ρenv*(ζ)−ρcore*(ζ)]1ridH(ζ)dζ+H(ζ)⋅[dρenv*dr*−dρcore*dr*].

Sanity check:

  • ζ<0:  

    ddr*[ρ*(ζ)]

    =

    dρcore*dr*+[ρenv*(ζ)−ρcore*(ζ)]1ridH(ζ)dζ0+H(ζ)0⋅[dρenv*dr*−dρcore*dr*]=dρcore*dr*.

  • ζ>0:  

    ddr*[ρ*(ζ)]

    =

    dρcore*dr*+[ρenv*(ζ)−ρcore*(ζ)]1ridH(ζ)dζ0+H(ζ)1⋅[dρenv*dr*−dρcore*dr*]=dρenv*dr*.

  • ζ=0:  

    ddr*[ρ*(ζ)]

    =

    [dρcore*dr*]i+[ρenv*(ζ)−ρcore*(ζ)]i1ridH(ζ)dζ1+H(ζ)1/2⋅[dρenv*dr*−dρcore*dr*]i

     

    =

    12[dρenv*dr*+dρcore*dr*]i+1ri[ρenv*(ζ)−ρcore*(ζ)]i.

Now Take Radial Derivative of Pressure

Solving for P in the expression for specific entropy, we have,

ln⁡[P*(ρ*)γ]

=

μ(γ−1)sℜ

⇒P*

=

(ρ*)γ⋅exp⁡[μ(γ−1)sℜ].

Hence,

dP*dr*

=

γ(ρ*)γ−1{exp⁡[μ(γ−1)sℜ]}dρ*dr*+(ρ*)γ{exp⁡[μ(γ−1)sℜ]}ddr*[μ(γ−1)sℜ]

⇒1P*⋅dP*dr*

=

γρ*dρ*dr*+ddr*[μ(γ−1)sℜ].

We will need to recognize that, unless we are sitting exactly at the interface — that is, unless ζ=0 precisely —

ddr*[μ(γ−1)sℜ]

=

0.

Hence, for two of the separate physical regimes …

  • ζ<0:

    dP*dr*

    =

    γ(ρ*)γ−1{exp⁡[μ(γ−1)sℜ]}dρ*dr*

    ⇒1Pcore*⋅dPcore*dr*

    =

    γcρcore*⋅dρcore*dr*

  • ζ>0:

    1Penv*⋅dPenv*dr*

    =

    γeρenv*⋅dρenv*dr*

However, at the interface where ζ=0 precisely, we find,

ℤ0ri≡{ddr*[μ(γ−1)sℜ]}ζ=0

=

1ℜ{(γ−1)sdμdr*+μsdγdr*+μ(γ−1)dsdr*}ζ=0

 

=

1ℜ{(γ−1)sdμdr*+μsdγdr*+μ(γ−1)dsdr*}ζ=0

 

=

1ℜ[12(μc+μe)][12(γc+γe)−1][12(sc+se)]{[2(μc+μe)]dμdr*+[2(γc+γe)−1]dγdr*+[2(sc+se)]dsdr*}ζ=0

 

=

1ℜ[12(μc+μe)][12(γc+γe)−1][12(sc+se)]{2(μe−μc)(μc+μe)+2(γe−γc)(γc+γe)−1+2(se−sc)(sc+se)}1ri*

 

=

122ℜ{(μe−μc)[(γc+γe)−1](sc+se)+(γe−γc)(μc+μe)(sc+se)+(se−sc)(μc+μe)[(γc+γe)−1]}1ri*.

At the interface, then, we have,

[1P*⋅dP*dr*]i

=

{γρ*dρ*dr*+ddr*[μ(γ−1)sℜ]}ζ=0

 

=

ℤ0ri+{γρ*}ζ=0⋅{12[dρenv*dr*+dρcore*dr*]i+1ri[ρenv*(ζ)−ρcore*(ζ)]i}.

Finally, we see that,

{γρ*}ζ=0

=

12(γc+γe){ρcore*(ζ)+H(ζ)⋅[ρenv*(ζ)−ρcore*(ζ)]}ζ=0−1

 

=

12(γc+γe){12[ρcore*(ζ)+ρenv*(ζ)]}ζ=0−1

 

=

(γc+γe)[ρcore*(ζ)+ρenv*(ζ)]i−1,

so, at the interface,

[1P*⋅dP*dr*]i

=

ℤ0ri+{12[dρenv*dr*+dρcore*dr*]i+1ri[ρenv*(ζ)−ρcore*(ζ)]i}(γc+γe)[ρcore*(ζ)+ρenv*(ζ)]i−1.

Try Again

Additional studies of radial oscillations in models that lie along the "51 Renormalized" sequences can be found here.

Example BiPolytrope Sequence 0.3100

For the case of (nc,ne)=(5,1) and μe/μc=0.3100, we consider here the examination of models with three relatively significant values of the core/envelope interface:

  • (ξi,ρ¯/ρc,q,ν)≈(2.06061,1.1931E+02,0.16296,0.13754): Approximate location along the sequence of the model with the maximum fractional core radius.
  • (ξi,ρ¯/ρc,q,ν)≈(2.69697,3.0676E+02,0.15819,0.19161): Approximate location along the sequence of the onset of fundamental-mode instability.
  • (ξi,ρ¯/ρc,q,ν)≈(9.0149598,1.1664E+06,0.075502255,0.337217006): Exact location along the sequence of the model with the maximum fractional core mass.
