LAWE

Most General Form

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

Adiabatic Wave (or Radial Pulsation) Equation

d2xdr02+[4r0−(g0ρ0P0)]dxdr0+(ρ0γgP0)[ω2+(4−3γg)g0r0]x=0

where the gravitational acceleration,

g0 ≡

GMrr02=−1ρ0dP0dr0⇒g0ρ0r0P0=−dln⁡P0dln⁡r0.

The solution to this equation gives eigenfunctions that describe various radial modes of oscillation in spherically symmetric, self-gravitating fluid configurations. The boundary condition conventionally used in connection with the adiabatic wave equation is,

r0dln⁡xdr0

=

1γg(4−3γg+ω2R3GMtot)        at         r0=R.

Polytropic Configurations

Part 1

If the initial, unperturbed equilibrium configuration is a polytropic sphere whose internal structure is defined by the function, θ(ξ), that provides a solution to the,

Lane-Emden Equation

1ξ2ddξ(ξ2dΘHdξ)=−ΘHn

then,

r0

=

anξ,

ρ0

=

ρcθn,

P0

=

Kρ0(n+1)/n=Kρc(n+1)/nθn+1,

g0

=

GM(r0)r02=Gr02[4πan3ρc(−ξ2dθdξ)],

where,

an

=

[(n+1)K4πG⋅ρc(1−n)/n]1/2.

Hence, after multiplying through by an2, the above adiabatic wave equation can be rewritten in the form,

d2xdξ2+[4ξ−g0an(an2ρ0P0)]dxdξ+(an2ρ0γgP0)[ω2+(4−3γg)g0anξ]x

=

0.

In addition, given that,

g0an

=

4πGρc(−dθdξ),

and,

an2ρ0P0

=

(n+1)(4πGρc)θ=an2ρcPc⋅θcθ,

we can write,

0

=

d2xdξ2+[4−(n+1)V(ξ)ξ]dxdξ+[ω2(an2ρcγgPc)θcθ−(3−4γg)⋅(n+1)V(x)ξ2]x

 

=

d2xdξ2+[4−(n+1)V(ξ)ξ]dxdξ+(n+1)[ω2(an2ρcγgPc)ξ2θc(n+1)θ−(3−4γg)⋅V(x)]xξ2

where we have adopted the function notation,

V(ξ)

≡

−ξθdθdξ.

Part 2

Drawing from an accompanying discussion, we have the following:

Polytropic LAWE (linear adiabatic wave equation)

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)

In order to reconcile with the "Part 1" expression, we note first that V(ξ)↔Q(ξ). We note as well that since,

(an2ρcPc)θc

=

(n+1)4πGρc,

we have,

ω2(an2ρcγgPc)ξ2θc(n+1)θ

↔

ω2γg[(n+1)4πGρc]ξ2(n+1)θ=16γg[3ω22πGρc]ξ2θ=(σc26γg)ξ2θ.

All physically reasonable solutions are subject to the inner boundary condition,

dxdξ=0         at         ξ=0,

but the relevant outer boundary condition depends on whether the underlying equilibrium configuration is isolated (surface pressure is zero), or whether it is a "pressure-truncated" configuration. As is the case with the pressure-truncated isothermal spheres, discussed above, 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⁡ξ=3         at         ξ=ξ~.

But, for isolated polytropes, the sought-after solution is subject to the more conventional boundary condition,

−dln⁡xdln⁡ξ=(3−nn+1)+nσc26(n+1)[ξθ']         at         ξ=ξsurf.

Radial Pulsation Neutral Mode

Background

The integro-differential version of the statement of hydrostatic balance is

dPdr=−GMrρr2

From our separate discussion, we have found that,

Exact Solution to the (3≤n<∞) Polytropic LAWE

σc2=0

      and      

xP≡3(n−1)2n[1+(n−3n−1)(1ξθn)dθdξ].

Let's rewrite the significant functional term in this expressions in terms of basic variables. That is,

(1ξθn)dθdξ

=

−(anρcr0ρ0)g04πGρcan

 

=

−M(r0)4πr03ρ0.

Trial Eigenfunction & Its Derivatives

Let's adopt the following trial solution:

xt

=

a−bMr4πr03ρ0=a−bg04πGr0ρ0.

Then we have,

−(1b)dxtdr0

=

ddr0[Mr4πr03ρ0]

 

=

[14πr03ρ0]dMrdr0−[Mr4πr03ρ02]dρ0dr0−[3Mr4πr04ρ0]

 

=

1r0−[3Mr4πr04ρ0]−[Mr4πr03ρ02]dρ0dr0

−(1b)d2xtdr02

=

ddr0{1r0−[3Mr4πr04ρ0]−[Mr4πr03ρ02]dρ0dr0}

 

=

−1r02−[34πr04ρ0]dMrdr0+[3Mr4πr04ρ02]dρ0dr0+4[3Mr4πr05ρ0]

 

 

−[Mr4πr03ρ02]d2ρ0dr02−[14πr03ρ02]dρ0dr0⋅dMrdr0+[3Mr4πr04ρ02]dρ0dr0+[2Mr4πr03ρ03](dρ0dr0)2

 

=

−4r02+3Mr4πr05ρ0[4+dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0]+1r02[3Mr4πr03ρ0−1]dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0−[Mr4πr03ρ02]d2ρ0dr02+[2Mr4πr05ρ0](dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0)2.

Given that,

Δ≡Mr4πr03ρ0

=

14πG(g0r0ρ0)=−[P04πGr02ρ02⋅dln⁡P0dln⁡r0],

these expression can be rewritten as,

−(r02b)dxtdr0

=

r0{1−3Δ−Δ⋅dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0},

and,

−(r02b)d2xtdr02

=

−4+3Δ[4+dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0]+[3Δ−1]dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0−Δ(r02ρ0)d2ρ0dr02+2Δ(dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0)2.

Plug Trial Eigenfunction Into LAWE

 

LAWE

d2xdr02+[4r0−(g0ρ0P0)]dxdr0+(ρ0γgP0)[ω2+(4−3γg)g0r0]x=0


Plugging our trial radial displacement function, xt, into the LAWE gives,

LAWE

=

−(r02b)d2xtdr02−(r0b)[4+dln⁡P0dln⁡r0]dxtdr0−(r02b)(ρ0γgP0)[(4−3γg)g0r0+σc2(2πGρc3)]xt

 

=

−(r02b)d2xtdr02−(r0b)[4+dln⁡P0dln⁡r0]dxtdr0+(1b)1γg(dln⁡P0dln⁡r0)(4−3γg)xt−(r02b)(ρ0γgP0)[σc2(2πGρc3)]xt

 

=

−4+3Δ[4+dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0]+[3Δ−1]dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0−Δ(r02ρ0)d2ρ0dr02+2Δ(dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0)2

 

 

+[4+dln⁡P0dln⁡r0]{1−3Δ−Δ⋅dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0}+(1b)1γg(dln⁡P0dln⁡r0)(4−3γg)(a−bΔ)−(1b)(ρ0r02γgP0)[σc2(2πGρc3)](a−bΔ).

Now, if we set σc2=0 and dln⁡P0/dln⁡r0=γg(dln⁡ρ0/dln⁡r0), this expression becomes,

LAWE

=

−4+3Δ[4+dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0]+[3Δ−1]dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0−Δ(r02ρ0)d2ρ0dr02+2Δ(dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0)2

 

 

+[4+dln⁡P0dln⁡r0]{1−3Δ−Δ⋅dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0}+(1b)1γg(dln⁡P0dln⁡r0)(4−3γg)(a−bΔ)−(1b)(ρ0r02γgP0)[σc2(2πGρc3)](a−bΔ).

Notice that the key components of this last term may be rewritten as,

(ρ0r02γgP0)[σc2(2πGρc3)]

=

(4πGρ02r02P0)[σc26γg(ρcρ0)]

 

=

−(1Δ)dln⁡P0dln⁡r0[σc26γg(ρcρ0)].

So, for our trial eigenfunction, we have …

LAWE

=

[2Δ−1]dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0−Δ(r02ρ0)d2ρ0dr02+2Δ(dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0)2+dln⁡P0dln⁡r0⋅{[1−3Δ−Δ⋅dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0]+(4−3γg)γg[ab−Δ]+σc26γg(ρcρ0)[abΔ−1]}.

Consider Polytropic Structures

Referring back to, for example, a separate review of polytropic structures, we recognize that,

Δ=14πG(g0r0ρ0)

=

1ξ3[(−ξ2dθdξ)]θ−n=1ξ(−dθdξ)θ−n=−θ'ξθn,

dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0

=

n,

dln⁡P0dln⁡r0

=

(n+1).

Also,

(r02ρ0)d2ρ0dr02

=

(ξ2ρcθn)ddξ[nρcθn−1θ']

 

=

(nξ2θn)[(n−1)θn−2(θ')2+θn−1θ'′]

 

=

(nξ2θ2)[(n−1)(θ')2+θ⋅θ'′]

 

=

(nξ2θ2)[(n−1)(θ')2−(θn+1+2θθ'ξ)]

 

=

(nξ2θ2)[(n−1)(ξθnΔ)2+θn+1]

 

=

n(n−1)(ξn+1θn−1Δ)2+nξ2θn−1.

Hence,

LAWE

=

n(2Δ−1)−Δ(r02ρ0)d2ρ0dr02+2n2Δ+(n+1)[1−3Δ−nΔ]+(n+1){(4−3γg)γg[ab−Δ]+σc26γg(ρcρ0)[abΔ−1]}

 

=

2nΔ−n+2n2Δ+n−3nΔ−n2Δ+1−3Δ−nΔ−Δ(r02ρ0)d2ρ0dr02+(n+1){(4−3γg)γg[ab−Δ]+σc26γg(ρcρ0)[abΔ−1]}

 

=

1+n2Δ−(2n+3)Δ−Δ(r02ρ0)d2ρ0dr02+(n+1)[4γg−3][ab−Δ]+(n+1){σc26γg(ρcρ0)[abΔ−1]}.

If, γg=(n+1)/n, we can further simplify and obtain,

LAWE

=

1+n2Δ−(2n+3)Δ−Δ(r02ρ0)d2ρ0dr02+[n−3][ab−Δ]+(n+1){σc26γg(ρcρ0)[abΔ−1]}

 

=

1+(n−3)ab+n2Δ+(3−n)Δ−(2n+3)Δ−Δ(r02ρ0)d2ρ0dr02+(n+1){σc26γg(ρcρ0)[abΔ−1]}

General Form of Wave Equation

 

LAWE

d2xdr02+[4r0−(g0ρ0P0)]dxdr0+(ρ0γgP0)[ω2+(4−3γg)g0r0]x=0

Employing the substitutions,

σc2 ≡

3ω22πGρc,

α ≡

3−4γg=3−nn+1,

g0 ≡

GMrr02=−1ρ0dP0dr0⇒g0ρ0r0P0=−dln⁡P0dln⁡r0,

Δ

≡

Mr4πr03ρ0=14πG(g0r0ρ0)=−[P04πGr02ρ02⋅dln⁡P0dln⁡r0],

we have,

LAWE =

d2xdr02+1r0[4−g0ρ0r0P0]dxdr0+[(4γg−3)g0ρ0r0P0]xr02+(ρ0P0)[4πGρc(σc26γg)]x

  =

d2xdr02+1r0[4+dln⁡P0dln⁡r0]dxdr0+[α⋅dln⁡P0dln⁡r0]xr02−1Δ[dln⁡P0dln⁡r0⋅ρcρ0(σc26γg)]xr02.


In the context of polytropic configurations (see more below), we appreciate that,

ρ0ρc =

θn,

dln⁡P0dln⁡r0 =

(n+1)dln⁡θdln⁡ξ=−(n+1)Q,      and,

1Δ⋅dln⁡P0dln⁡r0 =

−(n+1)ξ2θn−1.

Inserting these into the LAWE expression and multiplying through by the square of the polytropic length scale, an2, we obtain,

LAWE =

d2xdξ2+1ξ[4−(n+1)Q]dxdξ−[α(n+1)Q]xξ2+[(n+1)ξ2θ(σc26γg)]xξ2.


This is identical to what has been referred to in a separate discussion, as 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)

Derivatives of Δ

Here we evaluate the first derivative of Δ with respect to r0,

dΔdr0 =

ddr0{Mr4πr03ρ0}

  =

14πr03ρ0⋅dMrdr0−3Mr4πr04ρ0−Mr4πr03ρ02⋅dρ0dr0

  =

1r0−3Mr4πr04ρ0−Mr4πr03ρ02⋅dρ0dr0

  =

1r0{1−Δ[3+dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0]}

⇒r0⋅dΔdr0 =

[1−3Δ−Δ⋅dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0];

and the second derivative of Δ with respect to r0,

d2Δdr02 =

  =

−1r02−3r02{1−Δ[4+dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0]}−1r02{[1−3Δ]dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0−2Δ⋅[dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0]2+Δ(r02ρ0)d2ρ0dr02}

⇒−r02⋅d2Δdr02 =

  =

4−12Δ+[1−6Δ]dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0−2Δ⋅[dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0]2+Δ(r02ρ0)d2ρ0dr02.

Trial Eigenfunction

As above, let's adopt a trial eigenfunction of the form,

xt

=

a−bMr4πr03ρ0=a−bΔ.

Then we have,

1b[r02×LAWE]trial =

−r02⋅d2Δdr02−[4+dln⁡P0dln⁡r0]r0⋅dΔdr0+[α⋅dln⁡P0dln⁡r0](ab−Δ)−1Δ[dln⁡P0dln⁡r0⋅ρcρ0(σc26γg)](ab−Δ)

  =

{4−12Δ+[1−6Δ]dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0−2Δ⋅[dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0]2+Δ(r02ρ0)d2ρ0dr02}−[4+dln⁡P0dln⁡r0][1−3Δ−Δ⋅dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0]

   

+[α⋅dln⁡P0dln⁡r0](ab−Δ)−1Δ[dln⁡P0dln⁡r0⋅ρcρ0(σc26γg)](ab−Δ).

Assume Polytropic Relations

If we assume that the equilibrium models are polytropes, then we know that,

ρ0∝θn

      ⇒     

dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0=n⋅dln⁡θdln⁡ξ;

P0∝θn+1

      ⇒     

dln⁡P0dln⁡r0=(n+1)⋅dln⁡θdln⁡ξ.

We also deduce that,

(r02ρ0)d2ρ0dr02

=

(ξ2θn)ddξ[dθndξ]

 

=

(ξ2θn)ddξ[nθn−1θ']

 

=

(nξ2θn)[(n−1)θn−2(θ')2+θn−1θ'′]

 

=

[n(n−1)ξ2θ2](θ')2−(nξ2θ)[θn+2ξθ']

 

=

n(n−1)⋅[dln⁡θdln⁡ξ]2−nξ2θn−1−2n⋅dln⁡θdln⁡ξ

 

=

n(n−1)⋅Ξ2−nξ2θn−1−2n⋅Ξ,

where we have introduced the shorthand notation,

Ξ

≡

dln⁡θdln⁡ξ.


Drawing from our accompanying discussion, for example, we note as well that,

Δ

=

−[P04πGr02ρ02⋅dln⁡P0dln⁡r0]

⇒−1Δ⋅dln⁡P0dln⁡r0

=

4πGr02ρ02P0

 

=

4πG(an2ξ2)(ρcθn)2[K−1ρc−(n+1)/nθ−(n+1)]

 

=

4πG[(n+1)K4πG⋅ρc(1−n)/n](ρc)2[K−1ρc−(n+1)/n]ξ2θ(n−1)

 

=

(n+1)ξ2θ(n−1)

⇒Δ⋅ξ2θn−1

=

−1(n+1)⋅dln⁡P0dln⁡r0=−Ξ.

Hence,

1b[r02×LAWE]trial =

4−12Δ+[1−6Δ]nΞ−2Δ⋅[nΞ]2+Δ[n(n−1)⋅Ξ2−nξ2θn−1−2n⋅Ξ]−[4+(n+1)Ξ][1−3Δ−Δ⋅nΞ]

4−12Δ+[1−6Δ]dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0−2Δ⋅[dln⁡ρ0dln⁡r0]2+Δ(r02ρ0)d2ρ0dr02.

Polytropes

If polytropic relations are adopted:

Δ =

Qξ2θn−1;

1Δ⋅dln⁡P0dln⁡r0 =

−(n+1)ξ2θn−1;

r02×LAWE =

r02d2xdr02+[4−(n+1)Q]r0⋅dxdr0+[(n−3)Q]x+1Δ[(n+1)Q⋅1θn(σc26γg)]x;

r0⋅dΔdr0 =

[1−3Δ+nΔQ]=1+(nQ−3)Δ;

−r02⋅d2Δdr02 =

  =

4−12Δ−n[1−6Δ]Q−2n2ΔQ2+Δ[n(n−1)Q2+2nQ−nQΔ]

  =

4−nQ−12Δ+6nQΔ−2n2ΔQ2+Δ[n(n−1)Q2+2nQ]−nQ

  =

4−2nQ+Δ[8nQ−n2Q2−nQ2−12].

Eigenfunction Choice

Again, let's try the trial eigenfunction,

xt =

a−bΔ,

in which case,

1b[r02×LAWE] =

−r02d2Δdr02−[4−(n+1)Q]r0⋅dΔdr0+[(n−3)Q](ab−Δ)+1Δ[(n+1)Q⋅1θn(σc26γg)](ab−Δ)

  =

4−2nQ+Δ[8nQ−n2Q2−nQ2−12]−[4−(n+1)Q][1+(nQ−3)Δ]+[(n−3)Q](ab−Δ)

   

+1Δ[(n+1)Q⋅1θn(σc26γg)](ab−Δ)

  =

4−2nQ+Δ[8nQ−n2Q2−nQ2−12]−4−(4nQ−12)Δ+(n+1)Q+(n+1)(nQ2−3Q)Δ+(n−3)Q(ab)−(n−3)QΔ

   

+1Δ[(n+1)Q⋅1θn(σc26γg)](ab−Δ)

  =

[(n+1)−2n+(n−3)(ab)]Q+Δ[8nQ−n2Q2−nQ2−12−4nQ+12+(n+1)(nQ2)−3Q(n+1)+(3−n)Q]

   

+1Δ[(n+1)Q⋅1θn(σc26γg)](ab−Δ)

  =

[(1−n)+(n−3)(ab)]Q+Δ[0]+1Δ[(n+1)Q⋅1θn(σc26γg)](ab−Δ).

Hence, we are left with only the σc2 term if we set,

0 =

(1−n)+(n−3)(ab)

⇒(ab) =

n−1n−3.

We conclude, therefore, that the radial displacement function (i.e., the eigenfunction) for the neutral (σc2=0) mode of all polytropic configurations is,

xneutral =

1b[n−1n−3−Δ]=1b[n−1n−3−Qξ2θn−1]

  =

1b(n−1n−3)[1+(n−3n−1)1ξ2θn−1⋅dln⁡θdln⁡ξ]

  =

1b(n−1n−3)[1+(n−3n−1)1ξθn⋅dθdξ].

This last expression exactly matches our earlier result found for polytropic configurations if we choose an overall amplitude coefficient of the form,

b =

2n3(n−3).

Hooray!

Summary

Setup

We begin with the traditional,

Adiabatic Wave (or Radial Pulsation) Equation

d2xdr02+[4r0−(g0ρ0P0)]dxdr0+(ρ0γgP0)[ω2+(4−3γg)g0r0]x=0

This linear, adiabatic wave equation (LAWE) can straightforwardly be rewritten in the form we will refer to as the,

Δ-Highlighted LAWE

0=d2xdr02+1r0[4+dln⁡P0dln⁡r0]dxdr0+[(3−4γg)dln⁡P0dln⁡r0]xr02−1Δ[dln⁡P0dln⁡r0⋅ρcρ0(σc26γg)]xr02

where:    Δ≡Mr4πr03ρ0,    σc2≡3ω22πGρc

Multiplying this Δ-Highlighted LAWE through by an2=(r0/ξ)2 and recognizing that, for polytropic configurations,

Δ =

−1ξ2θn−1dln⁡θdln⁡ξ,

        dln⁡P0dln⁡r0 =

(n+1)dln⁡θdln⁡ξ,

    ⇒     1Δ⋅dln⁡P0dln⁡r0 =

−(n+1)ξ2θn−1,

we immediately obtain what we have frequently referred to as 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)

Neutral-Mode Eigenfunction

In the preceding subsections of this chapter, we have demonstrated that if

γg=n+1n ⇒

α=3−nn+1,

the radial displacement function (i.e., the eigenfunction) for the neutral (σc2=0) mode of all polytropic configurations is,

xneutral =

3(n−3)2n[n−1n−3−Δ],

to within an arbitrarily chosen leading scaling coefficient. More completely, if we let "LAWE" stand for the RHS of our Δ-Highlighted LAWE, then setting x=xneutral results in the expression,

1b[r02×LAWE] =

(n+1)Q⋅1θn(σc26γg)[1Δ(n−1n−3)−1]

  =

−(n+1)(σc26γg)[ξ2θ(n−1n−3)−1θn⋅dln⁡θdln⁡ξ],

which goes to zero if σc2=0.

Parabolic Density Distribution

Here, we build upon our separate discussion of equilibrium configurations with a parabolic density distribution.

Equilibrium Structure

In an article titled, "Radial Oscillations of a Stellar Model," C. Prasad (1949, MNRAS, 109, 103) investigated the properties of an equilibrium configuration with a prescribed density distribution given by the expression,

ρ0=ρc[1−(r0R)2],

where, ρc is the central density and, R is the radius of the star. Both the mass distribution and the pressure distribution can be obtained analytically from this specified density distribution. Specifically,

Mr

=

∫0r04πr02ρ0dr0

 

=

4πρcr033[1−35(r0R)2],

in which case we can write,

g0≡GMrr02

=

4πGρcr03[1−35(r0R)2],

and,

Δ≡Mr4πr03ρ0

=

13[1−35(r0R)2][1−(r0R)2]−1.

Hence, proceeding via what we have labeled as "Technique 1", and enforcing the surface boundary condition, P(R)=0, Prasad (1949) determines that,

P0

=

4πGρc2R215[1−(r0R)2]2[1−12(r0R)2],

where, it can readily be deduced, as well, that the central pressure is,

Pc=4π15Gρc2R2.

and, given that,
