SSC/Structure/BiPolytropes/Analytic51Renormalize
BiPolytrope with and
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 polytropic index and the envelope has an 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,

Steps 2 & 3
Based on the discussion presented elsewhere of the structure of an isolated polytrope, the core of this bipolytrope will have the following properties:
The first zero of the function and, hence, the surface of the corresponding isolated polytrope is located at . Hence, the interface between the core and the envelope can be positioned anywhere within the range, .

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

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, . Along a given sequence, we vary the location of the core/envelope interface, . 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,

In order to evaluate for a given specification of the interface location, , we need to know that,
Keep in mind, as well, that,
Model Pairings
Here we will stick with the sequence corresponding to , and continue to examine the model pairings (B1 and B2) associated with the degenerate model (A) at . Specifically …
