BiPolytrope with n_c = 5 and n_e = 1

After studying 📚 S. Yabushita (1975, MNRAS, Vol. 172, pp. 441 - 453) in depth, here we renormalize our original construction of bipolytropic models with $(n_c,n_e)=(5,1)$ such that both entropy values, $(K_c,K_e)$, are held fixed along each model sequence.

Interface Conditions

And at the interface …

			Setting $n_c=5$, $n_e=1$, and ${\varphi }_i=1\Rightarrow$
$\frac{{\rho }_e}{{\rho }_0}$	$=$	$\left(\frac{{\mu }_e}{{\mu }_c}\right){\theta }_i^{n_c}{\varphi }_i^{-n_e}$	$=$	$\left(\frac{{\mu }_e}{{\mu }_c}\right){\theta }_i^5$

$\frac{{\eta }_i}{{\xi }_i}$	$=$	$\left[\frac{n_c+1}{n_e+1}{]}^{1/2}\right(\frac{{\mu }_e}{{\mu }_c}){\theta }_i^{(n_c-1)/2}{\varphi }_i^{(1-n_e)/2}$	$=$	$3^{1/2}\left(\frac{{\mu }_e}{{\mu }_c}\right){\theta }_i^2$

New Normalization

From one of the interface conditions, we see that,

$\left(\frac{K_e}{K_c}\right)$	$=$	${\rho }_0^{-4/5}(\frac{{\mu }_e}{{\mu }_c}{)}^{-2}{\theta }_i^{-4}$
$\Rightarrow {\rho }_0$	$=$	$\left[\right(\frac{K_e}{K_c}{)}^{-1}(\frac{{\mu }_e}{{\mu }_c}{)}^{-2}{\theta }_i^{-4}{]}^{5/4}=[\left(\frac{K_e}{K_c}{)}^{-5/4}\right(\frac{{\mu }_e}{{\mu }_c}{)}^{-5/2}{\theta }_i^{-5}]={\rho }_{\mathrm{n}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{m}}[\left(\frac{{\mu }_e}{{\mu }_c}{)}^{-5/2}{\theta }_i^{-5}\right].$

Note that the configuration's mean density is,

$\overline{\rho }\equiv \frac{3M_{\mathrm{t}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{t}}}{4\pi R^3}$			$=$	$\left(\frac{3}{4\pi }\right)M_{\mathrm{n}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{m}}\left(\frac{{\mu }_e}{{\mu }_c}{)}^{-3/2}\right(\frac{2}{\pi }{)}^{1/2}(-{\eta }^2\frac{d\varphi }{d\eta }{)}_s[r_{\mathrm{n}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{m}}(2\pi {)}^{-1/2}{\eta }_s{]}^{-3}$

Yabushita75 Plot

Specify Desired Abscissa and Ordinate

Here our desire is to generate a plot that is analogous to the one that appears as Fig. 1 (p. 445) of 📚 Yabushita (1975). We need to plot the core mass versus the central density, and the total mass versus central density where,

$M_{\mathrm{c}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{e}}$	$=$	$M_{\mathrm{n}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{m}}\left[\right(\frac{{\mu }_e}{{\mu }_c}{)}^{1/2}{\theta }_i\left]\right(\frac{2\cdot 3}{\pi }{)}^{1/2}\left[{\xi }_i^3\right(1+\frac{1}{3}{\xi }_i^2{)}^{-3/2}]=M_{\mathrm{n}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{m}}(\frac{{\mu }_e}{{\mu }_c}{)}^{1/2}{\xi }_i^3{\theta }_i^4(\frac{2\cdot 3}{\pi }{)}^{1/2},$
$M_{\mathrm{t}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{t}}$	$=$	$M_{\mathrm{n}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{m}}\left(\frac{{\mu }_e}{{\mu }_c}{)}^{-3/2}\right(\frac{2}{\pi }{)}^{1/2}(-{\eta }^2\frac{d\varphi }{d\eta }{)}_s=M_{\mathrm{n}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{m}}(\frac{{\mu }_e}{{\mu }_c}{)}^{-3/2}(\frac{2}{\pi }{)}^{1/2}{\eta }_{s}A,$
${\rho }_0$	$=$	${\rho }_{\mathrm{n}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{m}}\left[\right(\frac{{\mu }_e}{{\mu }_c}{)}^{-5/2}{\theta }_i^{-5}].$

As a check against earlier derivations, note as well that,

$\nu \equiv \frac{M_{\mathrm{c}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{e}}}{M_{\mathrm{t}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{t}}}$	$=$	$M_{\mathrm{n}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{m}}\left[\right(\frac{{\mu }_e}{{\mu }_c}{)}^{1/2}{\theta }_i\left]\right(\frac{2\cdot 3}{\pi }{)}^{1/2}\left[{\xi }_i^3\right(1+\frac{1}{3}{\xi }_i^2{)}^{-3/2}\left]\right\{M_{\mathrm{n}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{m}}\left(\frac{{\mu }_e}{{\mu }_c}{)}^{-3/2}\right(\frac{2}{\pi }{)}^{1/2}(-{\eta }^2\frac{d\varphi }{d\eta }{)}_s{\}}^{-1}$
	$=$	$3^{1/2}\left(\frac{{\mu }_e}{{\mu }_c}{)}^2{\theta }_i\right[{\xi }_i^3(1+\frac{1}{3}{\xi }_i^2{)}^{-3/2}](-{\eta }^2\frac{d\varphi }{d\eta }{)}_s^{-1}.$

Figure Caption:   Analogous to Figure 1 in 📚 S. Yabushita (1975, MNRAS, Vol. 172, pp. 441 - 453), the burnt-orange colored curve shows how the core mass varies with ${\xi }_i$ and the blue curve shows how the configuration's total mass varies with ${\xi }_i$. More specifically, given that ${\mu }_e/{\mu }_c=1$, the blue curve is a plot of the function, $[(2/\pi {)}^{1/2}{\eta }_{s}A]$, and the burnt-orange curve is a plot of the function, $[(6/\pi {)}^{1/2}{\xi }_i^3{\theta }_i^4]$.

Compare with Earlier Derivation

From our earlier derivation, we know that,

$\nu \equiv \frac{M_{\mathrm{c}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{e}}}{M_{\mathrm{t}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{t}}}$	$=$	$\sqrt{3}\left(\frac{{\mu }_e}{{\mu }_c}{)}^2\right[\frac{{\xi }_i^3{\theta }_i^4}{A{\eta }_s}]$
	$=$	$\sqrt{3}\left(\frac{{\mu }_e}{{\mu }_c}{)}^2\right[\frac{{\xi }_i^3{\theta }_i^4}{{\eta }_s}\left]\right[-{\eta }_s(\frac{d\varphi }{d\eta }{)}_s{]}^{-1}$
	$=$	$\sqrt{3}\left(\frac{{\mu }_e}{{\mu }_c}{)}^2{\theta }_i\right[{\xi }_i^3(1+\frac{1}{3}{\xi }_i^2{)}^{-3/2}][-{\eta }_s^2(\frac{d\varphi }{d\eta }{)}_s{]}^{-1}.$

Also, our earlier derivation gave,

$\frac{{\rho }_c}{\overline{\rho }}$	$=$	$\left(\frac{{\mu }_e}{{\mu }_c}{)}^{-1}\right[\frac{{\eta }_s^2}{3A{\theta }_i^5}]$
	$=$	$\frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{{\mu }_e}{{\mu }_c}{)}^{-1}{\theta }_i^{-5}\right[-\frac{1}{{\eta }_s}\cdot (\frac{d\varphi }{d\eta }{)}_s{]}^{-1}.$

Hooray! These both match our "new normalization" derivation.

  In § 1 (p. 442) of 📚 Yabushita (1975) we find the following reference:   "A somewhat similar problem has been investigated by Gabriel & Ledoux (1967). Gaseous configurations with an isothermal core and polytropic envelope of index 3 were studied by 📚 Henrich & Chandrasekhar (1941) and by 📚 Schönberg & Chandrasekhar (1942). As is well known there is an upper limit (Schönberg-Chandrasekhar limit) to the mass of the core for the configurations to be in hydrostatic equilibria. Gabriel & Ledoux have investigated the stability of these configurations and have shown that secular stability is lost at the configuration that corresponds to the Schönberg-Chandrasekhar limit."
