Interrelating (5, 1) and (0, 0) Bipolytropes

Here we construct a bipolytrope in which both the core and the envelope have uniform densities, that is, the structure of both the core and the envelope will be modeled using an $n=0$ polytropic index. It should be possible for the entire structure to be described by closed-form, analytic expressions. Generally, we will follow the general solution steps for constructing a bipolytrope that we have outlined elsewhere. [On 1 February 2014, J. E.
